Genetics and Pathobiology of Vascular Cognitive Impairment (R21): The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), National Institute of Aging (NIA), and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) invite research grant applications aimed at understanding the genetics and pathobiology of Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). -This funding opportunity will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Grant (R21) award mechanism, but will be run in parallel with an FOA of identical scientific scope that utilizes the traditional research project grant (R01) [PAS-04-149] -The participating organizations intend to commit a total of approximately $2,250,000 to this funding opportunity announcement with set-aside funds and a parallel announcement that uses the R01 mechanism, in addition to funds available for applications sent in response to this initiative that score within the paylines of the participating NIH Institutes. -Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. -Eligible organizations: For-profit or non-profit organizations; public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories; units of State and local governments; eligible agencies of the Federal government; domestic or foreign institutions/organizations; units of state or local tribal governments; and faith-based or community-based organizations. -Eligible Project Directors/Principal Investigators (PD/PIs): Any individual with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are always encouraged to apply for NIH support. -An R21 is not renewable.
