[Neil Charness]

Hi Folks:

Aaron Wilber passed along the following NIA FOA on balance in older adults.  If you are interested and would like a meeting to discuss this with others, please let Callie know and we can set up a meeting.

Best, Neil

Dear NIA grantees,

We would like to make you aware of our newly published funding opportunity announcement: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-21-011.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-21-011.html__;!!PhOWcWs!k2HFlASfkOJs43ercxkCEnDQtC8kqTc8bfI1qDFjJc3SRyelw4ZNiimJ7IOWqR8$>

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications that propose basic and/or clinical studies to investigate central and peripheral control of balance in older adults and/or in relevant animal models. This FOA is driven by the need to address a major gap in our understanding of how aging impacts the vestibular system, which, when impaired, contributes to balance problems and an increased risk of falls in older adults. Additionally, given that balance impairment can be attributed to a number of factors (e.g. sensory, motor, cognitive, psychological, and vascular function), understanding the contribution of age-related vestibular loss, and how this interacts with these factors, is critical for informing interventions and treatments for balance problems and falls in older adults.

Application due date: October 2, 2020 by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization.
