This award program is sponsored by the NIA’s Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN). The RCCN’s goal is to bring together researchers from the 7 NIA Centers programs to foster the development of cross-center collaborations around issues important to the health and well-being of older adults.
The RCCN sponsors a series of workshops addressing specific problems of high salience to multiple NIA Center programs. These workshops feature the sharing of paradigms, conceptual models, and key insights from perspectives of the participating centers programs. Workshops include:
Promoting Healthy Aging Through Nutrition. July 20-21, 2023. Boston, MA.
mHealth and Digital Health Approaches to Research in Aging. November 1-2, 2022. Indianapolis, IN.
Aging, Race, and Health Disparities. June 28-29, 2022. Bethesda, MD.
Measuring Biologic Age. January 19-20, 2022. Virtual.
Inclusion of Older Adults in Clinical Research. February 23-24, 2021. Virtual.
Life Course Perspectives on Aging. November 3-4, 2020. Virtual.
Resilience and Reserve in Aging. November 12-13, 2019. Austin, TX.
Sex and Gender Differences in Aging. June 6-7, 2019. Marina del Rey, CA.
Achieving and Sustaining Behavior Change to Benefit Older Adults. December 6-7, 2018. Bethesda, MD.
After the workshops, publications are developed summarizing the proceedings and priority areas; past publications are available here.
This mechanism provides funding to catalyze enduring collaborations for at least two collaborative pilot, planning or meeting grants supporting interdisciplinary research in cross cutting theme areas per grant cycle. Each award will provide up to $65,000 in direct costs. The proposals must include investigators affiliated with at least two different NIA Centers Programs (AITCs, Shock, Roybal, Older American Independence Centers (Pepper), Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research, Centers for Demography and Economics of Aging, and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers). Investigators not affiliated with these NIA programs may also be included. Applications may seek support to collect or analyze data, convene experts to explore aspects of the theme area in detail, or develop multi- or interdisciplinary conceptual models to motivate further cross-center work. There must be clear evidence that all investigators will contribute meaningfully to the intellectual design and conduct of the research.
Applicants may propose to use the award over the course of one or two years as justified by the proposed activity. The RCCN will support 20% in indirect costs on each award.

The Long-Term Care (LTC) Data Cooperative announces a request for applications for the newly established 2023 Real World Data Scholars Program. This program supports the development of advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and early-career faculty who are interested in developing their expertise and experience in working with electronic health record (EHR) data.
The program offers a unique opportunity to be among the first users of the LTC Data Cooperative’s EHR data and to characterize the data for future users through validation and analyses. It is available for investigators at all levels who are interested in developing their expertise and experience working with EHR data.
The Real World Data Scholars Program will fund up to three investigators for a 12-month training grant. Selected scholars will work with the designers of the LTC Data Cooperative to test and establish the validity or reliability of key measures within this new data resource. Accepted scholars will be partnered with a mentor who is well-versed in analyzing EHR data and can provide support and direction for scholars.
Awards are for 12 months and up to $50,000 in direct costs; awardees are expected to devote 25-50% effort toward the goals of the program. Indirect costs are calculated at 8%. Applicants should be experienced using large-scale administrative and/or clinical data (e.g., EHR data, Medicare claims, Minimum Data Set, registry data, etc.). Individuals with a background in pharmacoepidemiology, natural language processing, or clinical investigations are also encouraged to apply. Applicants from under-represented racial and ethnic groups as well as individuals with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Applicants must be associated with an academic institution or academic medical center and be citizens or permanent residents of the United States. All research must be performed within the United States.
