Call for Applications from NIH Centers and Networks

  • The University of Minnesota Life Course Center is requesting pilot project pitches. Pilot studies ideas should be thought of as the preliminary research required to illustrate the feasibility of a larger research study for which applicants intend to pursue a grant from NIA. If selected, their pilot study will be included in the P30 Center grant application. Learn more and submit your pitch by August 23, 2024.


  • The Music4Pain Research Network launched its Visiting Scholar Program and they are requesting applications. The Visiting Scholar Program is designed to support PhD students in gaining research experience and training in mechanistic research related to music for pain management. Applicants will join an existing research project in the labs of Drs. Robert Zatorre and Mathieu Roy. Research in Drs. Roy and Zatorre’s laboratories focus on understanding how music influences pain perception. They explore the roles of distraction, enjoyment, and relaxation, among other factors.   Learn more and submit your application by August 23, 2024.


  • The Network for Innovative Methods in Longitudinal Studies of Aging (NIMLAS) is requesting pilot project applications for their third annual pilot project competition. NIMLAS seeks proposals that conduct methodological research in one of the following four thematic research areas of NIMLAS: (1) Creation of new data on aging minority populations; (2) Design or analytic techniques for addressing attrition in longitudinal studies of aging; (3) New technologies for capturing measures of relevance to aging research and (4) Innovative methodologies for obtaining consent for data collection. Learn more and submit your pre-proposal application by September 9, 2024.


  • The Scientific Research Network on Decision Neuroscience and Aging (SRNDNA) is requesting applications for pilot grants. The proposed research must focus directly on the neural mechanisms of decision-making in adult development and aging or on life-course decisions that improve health and well-being in old age. Learn more and submit your application by September 15, 2024.


  • The Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) is requesting letter of interests for their Seed Pilots for Aging Research Collaboration (SPARC) program. 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 program 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.  Learn more and submit your letter of interest by October 1, 2024.
