Predoctoral Fellowship Award to Promote Broad Participation in Translational Research for AD/ADRD
Predoctoral Fellowship Award to Promote Broad Participation in Translational Research for AD/ADRD
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to promote diversity in the translational research workforce for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD). This predoctoral fellowship program supports research training of promising predoctoral candidates from diverse backgrounds and emphasizes the development of translational research skills and their application to various aspects of AD/ADRD research (from populations studies to research that can lead to new treatments and diagnostics, including all aspects of behavioral and social research). The long-term goal of this program is to develop a diverse translational workforce that can effectively participate in and/or lead a team-science, interdisciplinary approach to studies of AD/ADRD treatment, prevention, early detection, and disease management and care.
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) does not allow candidates to propose to lead an independent clinical trial, but does allow candidates to propose research experience in a clinical trial led by a sponsor or co-sponsor.
Due dates in April, August, December until December 2027.
