Grant Description: -Purpose. The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage submission of exploratory or developmental research applications on fatigue and fatigability in aging. This FOA is intended to promote research studies employing transdisciplinary approaches that could lead to increased understanding of mechanisms contributing to, assessment of, or potential interventions for, increased fatigue or fatigability in older persons. This FOA is soliciting applications of an exploratory or developmental nature in order to stimulate new ideas, techniques, or approaches. Applications responsive to this announcement are not required to contain preliminary data, though such data may be included if available. Both animal models and humans are appropriate for study under this FOA. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-08-161, that encourages applications under the Research Project Grant (R01) award mechanism. -Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
