Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 18 004
The Resource Centers for Minority Aging (RCMAR) Coordinating Center (R24) funding opportunity (RFA-AG-18-004) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Aging (NIA) grant competition designed to support a single coordinating hub for the nationwide RCMAR Program. At its core, the program is aimed at strengthening and diversifying the aging research workforce by developing and mentoring promising investigators from under-represented groups so they can build long-term, independent careers in aging research. While RCMARs have a long history of emphasizing minority aging and health disparities, this cycle also broadens the program’s scientific reach to encourage more transdisciplinary social and behavioral research aligned with any theme in the NIA Strategic Plan, including an added emphasis on a new cohort of RCMARs addressing behavioral and social science questions related to Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).
The RCMAR Program itself focuses on understanding aging processes and outcomes at both the individual and societal level, with particular attention to social, behavioral, and economic dimensions of aging. The FOA reflects the idea that aging research can and should span many levels of analysis, from genetics and biology through community and population studies, and can range from basic research to translational work that informs real-world interventions, policies, and practices. The overarching goal is to generate knowledge that can improve health, well-being, functional ability, and independence for older adults in the United States, while ensuring that the benefits of research extend across diverse communities and address persistent inequities.
The Coordinating Center (CC) is positioned as the operational backbone that links the various RCMAR sites together. Rather than functioning as another independent center, the CC is expected to facilitate and coordinate trans-RCMAR activities, meaning work that benefits the network as a whole and helps different RCMARs learn from one another, align efforts where appropriate, and collectively elevate the program’s national impact. The CC is expected to work closely with the NIA Program Officer and to be responsive, in coordination with all RCMAR sites, to requests and needs coming from RCMAR leadership and staff, NIA and NIH leadership, the broader scientific community, and even the general public. In practical terms, that coordinating role typically implies responsibilities such as organizing cross-center communication, supporting shared activities and dissemination, helping standardize or streamline certain network functions, and ensuring the program’s outputs are accessible and useful to stakeholders inside and outside academia.
From an eligibility standpoint, the opportunity is broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, including federal recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, for-profit entities (other than small businesses), small businesses, and other applicants as allowed under the FOA’s additional eligibility guidance. The funding instrument is a grant under the health activity category (CFDA 93.866). The listed award ceiling is $200,000, and the FOA anticipates making one award, reflecting the intent to establish a single national coordinating center rather than multiple coordinating hubs.
Key timing information in the source data indicates the opportunity was created on April 4, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 20, 2017. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as infrastructure support for a national mentoring-and-research network: it is not merely funding for a discrete research project, but support for the coordination, integration, and responsiveness of a program explicitly built to expand the pipeline and success of under-represented investigators in aging research, while keeping minority aging and health disparities mentoring as a central, expected component of the investigator development mission.Apply for RFA AG 18 004
