NIA-Funded Data Source for Studying Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

    We are please to share a free data source for studying post-acute and long-term care, the NIA-funded LTC Data Cooperative. This novel data resource assembles person-level electronic medical records (EMR) data from thousands of skilled nursing facilities, and soon also assisted living communities. With clinical data on millions of patients, it is a resource for all researchers interested in understanding the provision of long-term care in America. 

     

    Researchers apply to use the data for comparative effectiveness studies or interventional studies, including clinical trials. Researchers may request EMR data linked to Medicare and Medicaid claims via the NIA LINKAGE Program, at no cost. 


    As a long-term care provider-led effort, funded under the NIA IMPACT Collaboratory, providers are involved in reviewing proposals to use data and are available to answer questions researchers have about how they use their EMRs. Please reach out to ltcdatacooperative@ahca.org to discuss research ideas and get answers to any data-related questions.

     

    Additionally, a Zoom workshop is being hosted about the LTC Data Cooperative data on Thursday, September 19, 1:30 – 2:30 pm ET.  Register here: https://bit.ly/4cVD8u7.

      MOSAIC Postdoctoral Career Transition Awards to Promote Diversity (K99/R00)

      The MOSAIC K99/R00 program facilitates the timely transition of individuals from diverse backgrounds from their mentored postdoctoral research positions to research-intensive faculty positions. The program is designed to support postdoctoral researchers who have demonstrated meaningful contributions and proposed compelling future plans to promote broad participation in the biomedical research workforce. There are three NOFOs to accommodate the breadth of research conducted in the mission of participating institutes and centers (ICs):

      • PAR-24-225 – Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed

      • PAR-24-226 – Independent Clinical Trial Required

      • PAR-24-227 – Independent Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required

      It’s important that applicants reach out to the appropriate scientific/research contact prior to applying, since not all ICs participate in these announcements (for example, NIGMS participates only in PAR-24-225). Applications are accepted three times a year, and the next due date for non-AIDS related new applications is October 12, 2024.


      MOSAIC Organizational Research Education Cooperative Agreement to Promote Diversity (UE5)

      UE5 awards are made to independent organizations to support educational activities that equip MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars with professional skills and provide them with appropriate mentoring and professional networks to help them to transition to and succeed in their faculty careers. NIH specifies areas of programmatic need for each receipt date, reflecting the disciplinary backgrounds of the MOSAIC K99/R00 scholars, through a notice of special interest to the MOSAIC UE5 announcement. Only applications aligned with these areas of need will be accepted for review. The areas of programmatic need for the upcoming receipt date are:

      • Cell biology

      • Biochemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics

      • Neuroscience

      • Basic, clinical, and translational physiology and pathophysiology of multiple human organ systems

      • Population health studies, including health promotion, minority health, and health disparities
