## What the grant funds

The TrDA is intended to improve diagnosis now. Proposed projects must build knowledge, capacity, technology, and/or research to reduce or overcome important barriers to obtaining a diagnosis, meaningful disease monitoring, and accurate prognosis. Barriers could include, but are not limited to, technologies, cost, equitable patient access, applicability, structural and social determinants of health, clinical implementation, relationship to clinical outcome measures, biomarker validation, lack of longitudinal data to inform prediction/prognosis, and more. The investigator must clearly attune their project to provide true benefit to people living with AD/ADRD diagnoses and their families. All applications submitted to this funding opportunity must clearly indicate how the project addresses an important barrier, explain how the research will be representative of the population it intends to benefit, and demonstrate cultural competence. Culturally competent research factors the cultural background and diversity of the intended beneficiaries of the research outcomes when developing research ideas, conducting research, and implementing the research findings. Cultural competency in research is critical in reducing health disparities and enhancing the quality and impact of research by ensuring inclusivity, understanding, and responsiveness to the needs of diverse populations. Key elements of this award mechanism are: · Clear pathway to applicability: To meet the intent of this mechanism, applications should be focused on a clear pathway to clinical applicability. Proposed projects should identify and begin to address gaps limiting advances in equitable, accessible, and rapid diagnosis and/or prognosis. Gaps may include but are not limited to technologies, state of the science, health equity, biomarker applicability, and more. Applications that do not clearly delineate how the proposed project addresses and/or overcomes barriers to accessible and viable diagnosis and/or prognosis do not meet the intent of this mechanism. · Non-incremental advance: Proposed research should demonstrate an appreciable advance on the current state of the field. As such, preliminary data are required. · Person-focused research: For diagnostic/prognostic outcomes proposed by the research to be successful, those impacted by AD/ADRD diagnoses need to buy into the approach.
