The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications to establish a coordinating center that will serve as a centralized hub for accessing, harmonizing, linking, and sharing environmental contextual data and individual exposure data with NIA/NIH-funded projects in order to foster collaboration and accelerate life course research on the social, behavioral, psychological, and economic exposures that shape Alzheimers disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) outcomes and inequities.Applications to establish the AD/ADRD Exposome Coordinating Center (AD/ADRD Exposome CC) should identify five to seven social, behavioral, psychological, and economic exposome domains relevant to AD/ADRD, and describe activities related to the domains that will achieve the three objectives of this FOA:Develop an organizational and governance structure to support the administration, innovation, and dissemination functions of the AD/ADRD Exposome CC.Propose activities to establish guidance and practices for the use and harmonization of exposure data across NIA-supported infrastructure projects, as well as other longitudinal studies of aging. Propose and support activities for the development of innovative and novel exposure measures and data.Disseminate resources and products developed by the AD/ADRD Exposome CC to the broader AD/ADRD research community to expand the use of social and behavioral data and harmonized measures in a wide range of studies.
