<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino">The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to invite pragmatic clinical trial applications to test paradigms designed to address the unmet need to detect cognitive impairment,
including dementia, in large and diverse populations seen in primary care across the United States when a patient, relative, or care provider indicates concern. Applications must propose pragmatic clinical trials to test paradigms to detect cognitive impairment,
including dementia, with adequate power in up to 3 populations including at least two specified populations that experience health disparities. Clinical paradigms proposed for pragmatic clinical trials should have rigorous supporting preliminary data and utilize
tools that are simple to use, standardized, integrated into the electronic medical record (EMR) workflow, and ideally take five minutes or less to administer in a primary care clinical setting. Paradigms must provide standardized and implementable turnkey
guidance via the EMR to the care provider for follow-up based on results of either “no objective cognitive impairment detected” or “cognitive impairment possible or detected”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino">This solicitation invites submission of collaborative proposals that tackle bold questions in biology and require an integrated approach to make substantive progress. Integrative biological
research spans subdisciplines and incorporates cutting-edge methods, tools, and concepts from each to produce groundbreaking biological discovery. The research should be synergistic and produce novel, holistic understanding of how biological systems function
and interact across different scales of organization, e.g., from molecules to cells, tissues to organisms, species to ecosystems and the entire Earth. Such knowledge is critical to inform solutions to societal challenges, including natural resource management,
resilience to environmental change, and global food security. Outcomes from integrative research will also inform and guide the development of new technologies that drive the nation’s bioeconomy. Integrative biological research depends on researchers who work
in dynamic, diverse, and collaborative interdisciplinary teams. These teams should be fully engaged in the training and education of the next generation of scientists who will be future leaders in integrative research. A vibrant, inclusive, and integrative
training environment will therefore produce a new generation of researchers who can navigate across subdisciplines and engage in integrative thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino">The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. To accomplish the stated overarching goal, this FOA will provide support
to recipients of Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) for creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences designed to ensure that the participants receive exposure to the scientific and operational principles underlying
each step of the translational process so that they can apply these principles to clinical and translational science research areas such as: 1) pre-clinical research, 2) clinical research, 3) clinical implementation, and 4) public health.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

programs should provide research experiences that are not available through formal NIH training mechanisms. R25 programs that propose at least 10 weeks, but fewer than 15 weeks, of full-time research experiences are allowed to request continued part-time support
for the participants to work on their research projects, up to the equivalent of 15 weeks of full-time participation, as long as the entire research experience is completed within a 12-month period. Successful participants may be appointed for additional periods

early detection biomarkers, utilizing the advantages of the unique biorepository resources of the NCI-sponsored Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer (PLCO) Screening Trial. The PLCO Biorepository offers high-quality, prospectively collected, serial
pre-diagnostic blood samples from the PLCO screened arm participants, and a onetime collection of buccal cells from both the screened and the control arm participants. Available data associated with the biospecimens includes demographic, diet, lifestyle, smoking,
screening results, and other clinical data. This FOA supports a wide range of cancer research including, but not limited to, biochemical and genetic analyses of cancer risk, as well as discovery and validation of early detection biomarkers. The proposed research
project must involve use of PLCO biospecimens and may include other resources; additionally, it should also take advantage of the unique characteristics of the PLCO biospecimens.
<b>Research on non-cancer outcomes, especially those related to aging (e.g., Alzheimer’s, depression, hip fracture, osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis) may also be supported.</b> Research projects that do not involve the use of PLCO biospecimens will not
