Neuropathological Interactions Between COVID-19 and ADRD
The National Institutes of Health is accepting applications that propose studies in animal, cell culture, and/or human tissue models to elucidate the mechanisms by which COVID-19 interacts with and/or modulates ADRD-relevant mechanisms and outcomes. Proposed studies must be disease mechanistic in nature, and either the model itself or the experimental readouts must incorporate ADRD risk factors, causes, pathologies, or relevant comorbidities.
Proposals should be mechanistic studies that address how COVID-19 either:
- impacts CNS pathology and cognitive decline when ADRD pathology is already present (for example, in a model of ADRD).
- accelerates ADRD pathology in a prodromal model (early phase, pre-symptomatic).
- predisposes for ADRD and/or interacts with relevant comorbid conditions and ADRD risk factors.
Awards:
Up to 5 awards are expected from a pool of $3.75 million.
