The Goizueta ADRC is continuing to actively solicit applications for the following programs:
* Promising pilot projects are eligible for consideration of funding in a future year as an ADRC Developmental Project
Invited full applications are due 01/04/2022
Please note – although the deadline for LOI submissions has been extended, it does not alter the due date for invited full applications. We expect to provide decisions regarding LOIs within 48 hrs of receipt (weekends excepted).
The projects are intended for new/early-stage investigators or established researchers seeking new directions. Areas of research can range from basic and clinical investigations to education and caregiving. Studies of pre-clinical phases of disease and approaches useful in differentiating disease processes from normal aging, as well as studies of early interventions, imaging & biomarkers, and minority issues are encouraged. Applicants may consult with ADRC scientists for strategic and statistical advice.
Review criteria for pilot and developmental projects include:
- Novelty and importance of the proposed research
- Likelihood of generating independent funding and publishable results
- Use of Goizueta ADRC resources (e.g., subjects or clinical data from participants, tissue and/or fluid samples, DNA, neuroimaging, proteomic & genomic resources, etc.) and/or resources available through the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) and/or the National Centralized Repository for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (NCRAD) is strongly encouraged
- Proposed research should adhere to NIH guidelines for statistical rigor, gender balance, animal welfare, and protection of human subjects.
