Novel Mechanism Research on Neuropsychiatric Symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer's Dementia (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)
NIH R21 grants to support mechanistic studies of neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias, including work that may identify novel therapeutic targets for future interventions.
⚑ Clinical Trial Optional · R21 mechanism · foreign organizations and several other nontraditional entities are eligible · focused on mechanism rather than treatment delivery

Description
The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for studies that will enhance knowledge of mechanisms associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD). The findings are expected to advanceadavnce mechanistic understanding of both biobehavioral and neurobiologfical pathways leading to NPS. Findings may also provide insight into novel therapeutic targets that can be advanced into interventions to treat and prevent the development of NPS in AD and/or ADRD.
