What the grant funds
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to diversify the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). This initiative will emphasize the development of skills in data science and drug discovery, and their application to various aspects of AD/ADRD research (from populations studies to research that can lead to new treatments and diagnostics, including all aspects of behavioral and social research). It will support research training of promising postdoctoral candidates from diverse backgrounds to help them gain critical translational skills in data science and drug discovery. The long-term goal of this program is to develop a diverse translational workforce that can effectively participate in and/or lead a team-science, precision medicine approach to AD/ADRD treatment, prevention, early detection, and disease management and care.
