## What the grant funds

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) promotes collaborative research programs to support the development/enhancement of infrastructure (e.g., tools, surveys, biospecimens, data) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (AD/ADRD) neuroscience research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Africa. Specifically, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) seeks to support Phase Innovation Awards Cooperative Agreement (UG3/UH3) projects to enable: (1) the formation of transformative collaborations between institutions/scientists in the US and LMICs in Africa; (2) the development, or enhancement of research infrastructure and resources for studies of AD/ADRD neuroscience relevant to Africaas well as to examine how social or behavioral factors influence AD/ADRD in Africa; (3) the initiation of pilot or exploratory studies that will inform future research for AD/ADRD neuroscience in Africa. These research infrastructure programs are expected to contribute to the long-term goals of building sustainable AD/ADRD neuroscience research capacity and research,ultimately leading to prevention and mitigation strategies for AD/ADRD in Africa. Income categories for LMICs in Africa are defined by the World Bank at http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-classifications/country-and-lending-groups.
