## What the grant funds

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) that invites applications that propose large-scale, complex research projects with multiple highly integrated components focused on a common research question relevant to aging. Applications will involve a well-integrated research program composed of a multidisciplinary team of investigators within a single institution or a consortium of institutions. Applications will demonstrate how the individual components will be synergistically integrated to advance understanding of the unifying hypothesis or theme. The structure and approach of proposed projects will vary depending on the hypotheses under investigation; however, all applications are expected to reflect a high level of coordination among components that ensures integration across the projects. Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO intends to utilize the U19 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of aging research are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
