Hi Folks:

AARP has a group, the Global Council on Brain Health, that periodically releases consensus documents.  Here is one on "brain health supplements".  Short summary: don't bother to take such supplements.  You can find the report at the following web page.

Research Objectives

The Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Centers (OAIC) program was established in honor of the late Representative to establish centers of excellence in research and research education to increase scientific knowledge leading to better ways to maintain or restore independence in older persons.

The OAIC awards are designed to develop or strengthen awardee institutions' programs that focus on and sustain progress in a key area of aging research. Applicants should identify an area of focus in which progress could contribute to greater independence for substantial populations of older persons and offer opportunities for education in aging research. This area of focus should be a common theme around which all proposed OAIC activities are organized. NIA's expectation is that an OAIC, in a given area of focus, will:
*        Provide intellectual leadership and innovation;
*        Facilitate and develop novel multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research strategies;
*        Stimulate incorporation of emerging technologies, methods, and scientific advances into research designs, as appropriate;
*        Provide research education for future leaders in geriatric research;
*        Stimulate translation between basic and clinical research (e.g., research to develop or test interventions or diagnostic tests based on new findings from basic aging research or other basic research or studies to improve understanding of mechanisms contributing to clinical or functional findings);
*        Promote translation of clinical research findings into practice in relevant healthcare settings (see also "Health Services Research as an Area of Focus" below);
*        Collaborate substantially with other OAICs on multi-center projects such as integrating data systems, supporting multi-center observational studies, and providing infrastructure to support multi-site clinical trials, including pragmatic trials;
*        Interface where possible with the NIA Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) and other NIA-funded programs and centers (e.g., Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs), Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging, Edward R. Roybal Centers for Translation Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences of Aging, Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs), Nathan Shock Centers);
*        Leverage institutional resources, including other NIH-supported programs and centers, to achieve the OAIC's aims with efficiency; and
*        Serve as a source of advice and collaboration to other investigators locally and on a large scale regarding technology, methodology, analysis, or other expertise.

Area of Focus

To achieve the objectives listed above, each OAIC should promote a sustained research program in an area of focus through which the Center will accomplish the innovation, leadership, collaboration, and research education functions described above. It is crucial to the design of an OAIC to identify an important research area to be addressed, to specify the goals to be achieved within the five-year OAIC award period, to provide a plan to reach these goals, and to outline a method to evaluate progress toward these goals during the course of the OAIC award. The selection of core activities (see below) should follow from these considerations.

An OAIC may select an area of research focus from a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
*        Aging-related issues concerning a specific condition contributing to loss of independence in older persons (e.g., role of aging changes in the etiology of the condition; special issues in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of the condition in old age; complications, disability, or symptoms from the condition found principally in older persons).
*        Causes, assessment, prevention, and treatment (including rehabilitation) of a specific type of disability in older persons.
*        Causes, prevention, and treatment of geriatric syndromes (e.g., sarcopenia, falls, incontinence) that are related to multiple pathologies and/or disabilities.
*        Specific aging-related physiologic changes, other risk factors, and/or interventions (e.g., physical activity) that affect risk for multiple conditions or disabilities in old age.
*        Interactions of multiple diseases, disabilities, and interventions (e.g., medications) in older persons and their relationship to risk of morbidity, progression of disability, and efficacy of prevention or treatment strategies.
*        Factors contributing to amelioration or delay of multiple deleterious aging changes by modulating risk factors or fundamental aging mechanisms.

In general, each research focus described above has the potential for a wide range of developmental and infrastructural activities that are likely to be interdependent and synergistic. Thus, an OAIC strategy of selecting several key activities that address its area of focus may have unique benefits.

As the level of funding for individual OAICs is unlikely to allow such a set of activities for more than one focus area, applicants are strongly encouraged to select an area in which their strengths allow their OAIC to fulfill NIA's goal for the OAIC program and to direct their proposed OAIC activities toward that research area, while also ensuring that opportunities exist for collaboration among other OAICs and other NIA programs and centers. The total impact of an OAIC's activities on progress in the selected field(s) should be a major criterion in selection of the focus area and will be a major criterion in peer review and program evaluation.

To capitalize on important new research opportunities within their institutions, OAICs may also support a limited amount of activity in their cores on topics other than those in their area of focus (see below). Applicants who anticipate providing such support should propose a system for identifying these opportunities and needs and for selecting core activities to address them.

Cognitive and Behavioral/Social Research as an Area of Focus. Cognitive or behavioral/social research should not be the major focus of an OAIC, as these areas are more appropriate for other NIA programs that also use the Center mechanism. However, where appropriate, OAICs are encouraged to support a multidisciplinary approach that includes research in these areas as they relate to the theme or focus of the OAIC.

Health Services Research as an Area of Focus. Research to determine effects of organizational or operational patterns of health practices or services, or the use of new or different types of healthcare providers, is generally appropriate for an OAIC or a component of an OAIC if it meets the following two criteria, in addition to the criteria above that exclude the major focus on cognitive and behavioral/social research:

1. The research is designed to obtain new knowledge about a) the effects of interventions or healthcare practices that clearly specify what will be done for, or by, the individuals treated by these interventions or practices; or b) the validity or predictive value of diagnostic or assessment techniques that clearly specify what will be measured in individuals. Examples of interventions or diagnostic strategies that may meet this criterion include:
*        New drug or hormonal intervention protocols that may require a new organizational strategy to deliver them
*        Disability prevention strategies based on application of treatment algorithms
*        Structured physical activity programs
*        New diagnostic measures for an age-related condition (e.g., tests for diastolic dysfunction)
*        Determining validity or predictive value of a functional assessment algorithm

2. The research is designed to determine health or risk-factor effects relating to outcomes that are primarily clinical or functional (other than cognitive) in the individuals treated by the intervention or practice. Examples of outcomes include:
*        Disease and risk-factor outcomes, including diet and physical activity
*        Functional outcomes
*        Physiologic outcomes

Research to determine effects of organizational or operational patterns of health practices or services, or the use of new or different types of healthcare providers, would generally not be appropriate as a principal focus of an OAIC or OAIC component if either of the following two criteria were met:

1. The research is neither designed to obtain new knowledge about a) the effects of interventions that clearly specify what will be done for, or by, the individuals treated by the intervention or practice, nor b) the validity or predictive value of diagnostic or assessment techniques that specify what will be measured in individuals. Examples of diagnostic or intervention research that would generally be considered inappropriate as a principal focus for an OAIC or component of an OAIC include:
*        Testing effects of a geriatric assessment unit or other new health care service, without both a) specification of the assessment protocol, criteria for deciding on appropriate treatment, a protocol for implementing treatment, and an adequate design to evaluate effects of these specific elements; and b) a design adequate to determine the effects of these specific components.
*        Testing the effects of adding a new type of health professional (e.g., pharmacist) to a hospital service without both a) specification of the change in specific diagnostic or intervention procedures that would be implemented, and b) a design adequate to determine the effects of these specific changes.

2. The research is not adequately designed to determine health or risk-factor effects relating to outcomes that are primarily clinical or functional (other than cognitive) in the individuals treated by the intervention or practice; for example:
*        Research designed to determine effects only on healthcare providers' behavior (e g., time spent per patient or number of diagnostic tests performed).
*        Research designed to determine effects only on patients' behavior (e.g., adherence to a set of dietary guidelines).

Hi Folks:

"Interesting" NSF letter to read and comment on below.  I suspect that this is in response to warnings already raised by NIH, e.g. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/04/us-universities-reassess-collaborations-foreign-scientists-wake-nih-letters.

We walk a very fine line here between providing value for and safeguarding taxpayer money and running the risk of alienating foreign-born scientists (I'm one) whom we value and collaborate with, and who are properly disclosing all conflicts of interest but nevertheless becoming objects of suspicion.  In the current xenophobic climate, we need to be very careful indeed.

We live in interesting times.  Feel free to provide feedback to the letter.

Best, Neil

Hi Folks:

Thanks to all those who filled out the calendar query.  As usual, there is no time that suits everyone for a meeting.  The time that excludes the fewest people is next Tues. July 16 at 10:00 am.  I've booked a room in Psychology, PDB 336.  Hope to see you there to discuss the OAIC funding possibility.  There should be follow-up meetings so if you can't make this one, there should be another opportunity.

Best, Neil

Research Objectives

The Claude D. Pepper Older American Independence Centers (OAIC) program was established in honor of the late Representative to establish centers of excellence in research and research education to increase scientific knowledge leading to better ways to maintain or restore independence in older persons.

The OAIC awards are designed to develop or strengthen awardee institutions' programs that focus on and sustain progress in a key area of aging research. Applicants should identify an area of focus in which progress could contribute to greater independence for substantial populations of older persons and offer opportunities for education in aging research. This area of focus should be a common theme around which all proposed OAIC activities are organized. NIA's expectation is that an OAIC, in a given area of focus, will:
*        Provide intellectual leadership and innovation;
*        Facilitate and develop novel multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research strategies;
*        Stimulate incorporation of emerging technologies, methods, and scientific advances into research designs, as appropriate;
*        Provide research education for future leaders in geriatric research;
*        Stimulate translation between basic and clinical research (e.g., research to develop or test interventions or diagnostic tests based on new findings from basic aging research or other basic research or studies to improve understanding of mechanisms contributing to clinical or functional findings);
*        Promote translation of clinical research findings into practice in relevant healthcare settings (see also "Health Services Research as an Area of Focus" below);
*        Collaborate substantially with other OAICs on multi-center projects such as integrating data systems, supporting multi-center observational studies, and providing infrastructure to support multi-site clinical trials, including pragmatic trials;
*        Interface where possible with the NIA Research Centers Collaborative Network (RCCN) and other NIA-funded programs and centers (e.g., Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research (RCMARs), Centers on the Demography and Economics of Aging, Edward R. Roybal Centers for Translation Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences of Aging, Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs), Nathan Shock Centers);
*        Leverage institutional resources, including other NIH-supported programs and centers, to achieve the OAIC's aims with efficiency; and
*        Serve as a source of advice and collaboration to other investigators locally and on a large scale regarding technology, methodology, analysis, or other expertise.

Area of Focus

To achieve the objectives listed above, each OAIC should promote a sustained research program in an area of focus through which the Center will accomplish the innovation, leadership, collaboration, and research education functions described above. It is crucial to the design of an OAIC to identify an important research area to be addressed, to specify the goals to be achieved within the five-year OAIC award period, to provide a plan to reach these goals, and to outline a method to evaluate progress toward these goals during the course of the OAIC award. The selection of core activities (see below) should follow from these considerations.

An OAIC may select an area of research focus from a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:
*        Aging-related issues concerning a specific condition contributing to loss of independence in older persons (e.g., role of aging changes in the etiology of the condition; special issues in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of the condition in old age; complications, disability, or symptoms from the condition found principally in older persons).
*        Causes, assessment, prevention, and treatment (including rehabilitation) of a specific type of disability in older persons.
*        Causes, prevention, and treatment of geriatric syndromes (e.g., sarcopenia, falls, incontinence) that are related to multiple pathologies and/or disabilities.
*        Specific aging-related physiologic changes, other risk factors, and/or interventions (e.g., physical activity) that affect risk for multiple conditions or disabilities in old age.
*        Interactions of multiple diseases, disabilities, and interventions (e.g., medications) in older persons and their relationship to risk of morbidity, progression of disability, and efficacy of prevention or treatment strategies.
*        Factors contributing to amelioration or delay of multiple deleterious aging changes by modulating risk factors or fundamental aging mechanisms.

In general, each research focus described above has the potential for a wide range of developmental and infrastructural activities that are likely to be interdependent and synergistic. Thus, an OAIC strategy of selecting several key activities that address its area of focus may have unique benefits.

As the level of funding for individual OAICs is unlikely to allow such a set of activities for more than one focus area, applicants are strongly encouraged to select an area in which their strengths allow their OAIC to fulfill NIA's goal for the OAIC program and to direct their proposed OAIC activities toward that research area, while also ensuring that opportunities exist for collaboration among other OAICs and other NIA programs and centers. The total impact of an OAIC's activities on progress in the selected field(s) should be a major criterion in selection of the focus area and will be a major criterion in peer review and program evaluation.

To capitalize on important new research opportunities within their institutions, OAICs may also support a limited amount of activity in their cores on topics other than those in their area of focus (see below). Applicants who anticipate providing such support should propose a system for identifying these opportunities and needs and for selecting core activities to address them.

Cognitive and Behavioral/Social Research as an Area of Focus. Cognitive or behavioral/social research should not be the major focus of an OAIC, as these areas are more appropriate for other NIA programs that also use the Center mechanism. However, where appropriate, OAICs are encouraged to support a multidisciplinary approach that includes research in these areas as they relate to the theme or focus of the OAIC.

Health Services Research as an Area of Focus. Research to determine effects of organizational or operational patterns of health practices or services, or the use of new or different types of healthcare providers, is generally appropriate for an OAIC or a component of an OAIC if it meets the following two criteria, in addition to the criteria above that exclude the major focus on cognitive and behavioral/social research:

1. The research is designed to obtain new knowledge about a) the effects of interventions or healthcare practices that clearly specify what will be done for, or by, the individuals treated by these interventions or practices; or b) the validity or predictive value of diagnostic or assessment techniques that clearly specify what will be measured in individuals. Examples of interventions or diagnostic strategies that may meet this criterion include:
*        New drug or hormonal intervention protocols that may require a new organizational strategy to deliver them
*        Disability prevention strategies based on application of treatment algorithms
*        Structured physical activity programs
*        New diagnostic measures for an age-related condition (e.g., tests for diastolic dysfunction)
*        Determining validity or predictive value of a functional assessment algorithm

2. The research is designed to determine health or risk-factor effects relating to outcomes that are primarily clinical or functional (other than cognitive) in the individuals treated by the intervention or practice. Examples of outcomes include:
*        Disease and risk-factor outcomes, including diet and physical activity
*        Functional outcomes
*        Physiologic outcomes

Research to determine effects of organizational or operational patterns of health practices or services, or the use of new or different types of healthcare providers, would generally not be appropriate as a principal focus of an OAIC or OAIC component if either of the following two criteria were met:

1. The research is neither designed to obtain new knowledge about a) the effects of interventions that clearly specify what will be done for, or by, the individuals treated by the intervention or practice, nor b) the validity or predictive value of diagnostic or assessment techniques that specify what will be measured in individuals. Examples of diagnostic or intervention research that would generally be considered inappropriate as a principal focus for an OAIC or component of an OAIC include:
*        Testing effects of a geriatric assessment unit or other new health care service, without both a) specification of the assessment protocol, criteria for deciding on appropriate treatment, a protocol for implementing treatment, and an adequate design to evaluate effects of these specific elements; and b) a design adequate to determine the effects of these specific components.
*        Testing the effects of adding a new type of health professional (e.g., pharmacist) to a hospital service without both a) specification of the change in specific diagnostic or intervention procedures that would be implemented, and b) a design adequate to determine the effects of these specific changes.

2. The research is not adequately designed to determine health or risk-factor effects relating to outcomes that are primarily clinical or functional (other than cognitive) in the individuals treated by the intervention or practice; for example:
*        Research designed to determine effects only on healthcare providers' behavior (e g., time spent per patient or number of diagnostic tests performed).
*        Research designed to determine effects only on patients' behavior (e.g., adherence to a set of dietary guidelines).

Additional Guidance

Neil,

Here is information pertaining to a new opportunity from the above for your consideration. Laurel Fulkerson thought it might be a fit for someone there. As always, please let me know if there's interest and how I can help:


the foundation invites proposals for its special initiative, Decision Making and Human Behavior in Context. Through the initiative, grants will be awarded in support of innovative research on decision making in the social sciences that examines causes, consequences, processes, and/or context from a behavioral or alternative perspective. The foundation intends to support research with multiple methodological perspectives and that can further the understanding of decision making processes and human behavior in the contexts of work, race, ethnicity, immigration, and social inequality, broadly conceived. Scholars in psychology, political science, sociology, and other social science fields are invited to submit a proposal.

RSF has identified a particular interest in the following areas:

Biases and Misperceptions - An important contribution of behavioral science has been to uncover the role that biases play in decision making and behavior across multiple contexts. RSF is interested in studies examining implicit and explicit biases in employment, criminal, judicial, political, educational, and other important settings. To what extent and how do conscious and unconscious biases and misperceptions affect decisions and behaviors? What are the consequences of these actions?

Motivations and Incentives - Individuals respond to incentives and a broad array of social, political, psychological, and cultural motivations. RSF is interested in supporting research on motivated decision making and behavior that has consequences for social, economic and political inequalities. To what extent and how do motivations (e.g., sense of belonging, group identity, self-improvement, etc.) affect behavior and decisions related to well-being, mobility, or political participation? What role can collective deliberation play? What kinds of motivations are subject to change or interventions?

Habits and Behavior Change - A great deal of human behavior is not openly motivated, in the sense that it is habitual, intuitive, taken-for-granted, or otherwise not reflective. This kind of behavior can be a challenge for those seeking changes related to social, economic, and political inequalities. How are socio-economically consequential habits formed and changed? To what extent does group membership affect the process? What are the limits of nudges and similar interventions that seek to modify the choice architecture involved in important decisions?

Affect and Emotions - Emotions shape people's decision making and behavior, both consciously and subconsciously. The role of affect or emotions can be especially important to understand among powerful decision-makers. What role do emotions play in social, economic, political and legal decisions and behaviors? To what extent are the consequences for human welfare and related policies beneficial or detrimental? To what extent and how can detrimental effects be countered?

Networks and Contexts - Many decisions are made with the help of social networks whose members may be turned to for information, advice, support, or other needs. Networks also influence the way many such decisions are made and have been shown to be important in the context of the job search, college enrollment, voting, and other topics relevant to mobility, poverty, and inequality. To what extent and how do contexts and networks - their structure and composition - affect decisions and behavior? To what extent and how do neighborhoods, organizations, and other contexts in which people form and maintain networks shape these processes?

To be eligible, all applicants (both PIs and co-PIs) must have a doctoral degree.

Letters of Inquiry are due August 21. Upon review, select applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal by November 21, 2019.

For complete program guidelines, application instructions, information about previous grant recipients, and an FAQ, see the Russell Sage Foundation website.

Neil,

Here is information pertaining to a new opportunity from the above for your consideration. Laurel Fulkerson thought it might be a fit for someone there. As always, please let me know if there's interest and how I can help:


the foundation invites proposals for its special initiative, Decision Making and Human Behavior in Context. Through the initiative, grants will be awarded in support of innovative research on decision making in the social sciences that examines causes, consequences, processes, and/or context from a behavioral or alternative perspective. The foundation intends to support research with multiple methodological perspectives and that can further the understanding of decision making processes and human behavior in the contexts of work, race, ethnicity, immigration, and social inequality, broadly conceived. Scholars in psychology, political science, sociology, and other social science fields are invited to submit a proposal.

RSF has identified a particular interest in the following areas:

Biases and Misperceptions - An important contribution of behavioral science has been to uncover the role that biases play in decision making and behavior across multiple contexts. RSF is interested in studies examining implicit and explicit biases in employment, criminal, judicial, political, educational, and other important settings. To what extent and how do conscious and unconscious biases and misperceptions affect decisions and behaviors? What are the consequences of these actions?

Motivations and Incentives - Individuals respond to incentives and a broad array of social, political, psychological, and cultural motivations. RSF is interested in supporting research on motivated decision making and behavior that has consequences for social, economic and political inequalities. To what extent and how do motivations (e.g., sense of belonging, group identity, self-improvement, etc.) affect behavior and decisions related to well-being, mobility, or political participation? What role can collective deliberation play? What kinds of motivations are subject to change or interventions?

Habits and Behavior Change - A great deal of human behavior is not openly motivated, in the sense that it is habitual, intuitive, taken-for-granted, or otherwise not reflective. This kind of behavior can be a challenge for those seeking changes related to social, economic, and political inequalities. How are socio-economically consequential habits formed and changed? To what extent does group membership affect the process? What are the limits of nudges and similar interventions that seek to modify the choice architecture involved in important decisions?

Affect and Emotions - Emotions shape people's decision making and behavior, both consciously and subconsciously. The role of affect or emotions can be especially important to understand among powerful decision-makers. What role do emotions play in social, economic, political and legal decisions and behaviors? To what extent are the consequences for human welfare and related policies beneficial or detrimental? To what extent and how can detrimental effects be countered?

Networks and Contexts - Many decisions are made with the help of social networks whose members may be turned to for information, advice, support, or other needs. Networks also influence the way many such decisions are made and have been shown to be important in the context of the job search, college enrollment, voting, and other topics relevant to mobility, poverty, and inequality. To what extent and how do contexts and networks - their structure and composition - affect decisions and behavior? To what extent and how do neighborhoods, organizations, and other contexts in which people form and maintain networks shape these processes?

To be eligible, all applicants (both PIs and co-PIs) must have a doctoral degree.

Letters of Inquiry are due August 21. Upon review, select applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal by November 21, 2019.

For complete program guidelines, application instructions, information about previous grant recipients, and an FAQ, see the Russell Sage Foundation website.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites early-stage physician and other health professional investigators with a commitment to aging and/or aging-related diseases to apply for this award to advance their research and leadership skills in their specialty and in the broader field of aging and geriatrics research.
NIA is pursuing this initiative to recruit early-stage investigators who have begun to establish research programs and who, through this award, will be ready to assume leadership roles in their field of expertise and will be poised to change theory, practice, and health outcomes related to the health of older individuals. Unlike other mentored K awards, candidates for this award must have received competitively awarded research support as a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) at the faculty level or have otherwise leveraged faculty-level research support to develop an independent line of research. They must show evidence of leadership in the clinical or research domain.
This FOA is designed specifically for applicants proposing to serve as the lead investigator of an independent clinical trial, a clinical trial feasibility study, or a separate ancillary study to an existing trial as part of their research and career development. Applicants not planning an independent clinical trial, or proposing to gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator, must apply to companion FOA RFA-AG-20-010.



Letter of intent due Sept. 22.

College of Medicine receives $3.75M grant to continue improving care for older adults in Florida
[https://news.fsu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/CoM-GWEP-grant-2.jpg]

The FSU College of Medicine has partnered with national, state and local stakeholders to strengthen the capacity of community organizations to improve care and support for Florida's aging population.

With a $3.75 million grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Department of Geriatrics at the Florida State University College of Medicine will help shape the future of health care in Florida.

Florida?s older adult population will number almost 7 million by 2040 and is typically challenged by chronic illness and high numbers of medications. As one of only two programs in Florida funded by HRSA?s national Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program (GWEP), the Florida State-based North and Central Florida GWEP will address these needs.

?We have partnered with national, state and local stakeholders to strengthen the capacity of community organizations to improve care and support for our aging population,? said Project Director Paul Katz, chair of the department and co-principal investigator of the grant.
