## What the grant funds

The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research to identify cell-specific mechanisms in biomolecular condensate (BMC) formation and function, providing novel information for the role BMCs play in diverse cell types in the context of aging and neurobiology of Alzheimers disease (AD) or AD-related dementias (ADRD). This research should enhance our understanding of the cell-specific mechanistic role of BMCs in aging and AD/ADRD and serve as the foundation for more comprehensive etiological studies that might lead to the development of future BMC-based therapies for age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
