<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">NIA issued a Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to highlight the urgent need for research on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The mission of NIA is to support and conduct genetic, biological, clinical, behavioral,
social, and economic research on aging. This NOSI supports mission critical areas of research for NIA as they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic.<br>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Background</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Coronaviruses are a diverse family of viruses that cause a range of disease in humans and animals, and there are currently no approved coronavirus vaccines or therapeutics. In January 2020, a novel coronavirus,
2019-nCoV, was identified as the causative agent of an outbreak of viral pneumonia centered around Wuhan, China. Current information regarding confirmed cases is changing daily and can be found on the <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html__;!!PhOWcWs!iC7eOZX2jHRLBEjXaK_E5oNPtQlo4wHfYeQkPYP26172a7DZQk5V-sTR9fbx_9bHBQ$" target="_blank" title="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/index.html">Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention website</a> and through other sources such as the <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.nih.gov/health-information/coronavirus*!/detail/403327__;Iw!!PhOWcWs!iC7eOZX2jHRLBEjXaK_E5oNPtQlo4wHfYeQkPYP26172a7DZQk5V-sTR9fZ2yNtHbg$" target="_blank" title="https://www.nih.gov/health-information/coronavirus#!/detail/403327">NIH
website</a>. Transmission characteristics and the associated morbidity and mortality are not completely understood, but there is clear evidence of human-to-human transmission. Many other aspects of viral pathogenesis, natural history, and host range are poorly
understood. Given this, there is an urgent public health need to better understand the 2019-nCoV, particularly to improve prevention of disease transmission among older adults and mitigation of disease severity and mortality in older adults with COVID-19.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
