What the grant funds
The purpose of this FOA is to support a collection of research networks that promote multidisciplinary mechanistic studies of music-based interventions (MBIs) for pain or Alzheimers disease and Alzheimers disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). These networks are expected to develop compelling research frameworks that will effectively guide future clinical studieson MBIs in these health conditions; adopt consistent terminology and taxonomy; support interdisciplinary collaborations andinitiate pilot projects to test novel mechanistic hypotheses; and identify strong mechanistic measures, outcomes, biomarkers, as well as relevant novel technologies and methodologies. To accomplish these objectives, applicants can propose activities such as meetings, workshops, conferences, research collaborations, exchange of ideas through visiting scientist arrangements or training opportunities. These activities will help identify unique research gaps that can be addressed through the networks in the form of pilot projects which will in turn generate the preliminary data needed for music and health investigators to compete for more substantial NIH grants. In addition, the networks shall sustain their scientific impact through a variety of dissemination and outreach strategies, including publication of research frameworks, common terminologies, reviews, and other best practices.
