Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA AG 24 036
This National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding opportunity, RFA-AG-24-036, supports R01 research projects focused on creating and validating better ways to measure financial hardship experienced by people living with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), along with the partners, family members, or caregivers who often share (or take over) financial decision-making as the disease progresses. The central idea is that financial hardship in AD/ADRD can look different from hardship captured by existing tools that were built for other contexts, such as cancer care, or for households without major cognitive impairment. Because AD/ADRD frequently changes who manages money, how bills get paid, how benefits are accessed, and how financial risks are handled, the NOFO is calling for measures that reflect real-world dyadic and family-level financial management arrangements rather than assuming a single, fully independent individual respondent.
The goal is to produce validated screeners or measurement tools that can detect AD/ADRD-specific financial strain and consequences that typical financial toxicity or general hardship screeners may miss. In practice, that means developing instruments that can capture the unique pathways through which dementia affects financial health, such as increased need for paid care, disruptions in employment for caregivers, vulnerability to financial mistakes or exploitation, shifts in control of accounts and legal authority, added costs related to supervision and safety, and the downstream effects on household stability. NIH is positioning these measures as enabling infrastructure for future research by giving the field better, dementia-relevant ways to quantify financial health, which is framed here as a key social determinant of health and a contributor to health-related quality of life among older adults with AD/ADRD.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity using the NIH R01 mechanism, and it is explicitly "Clinical Trial Not Allowed," meaning applicants should propose measurement development and validation research rather than interventions that meet NIH's definition of a clinical trial. The activity area is health, with CFDA/Assistance Listing 93.866, and the opportunity is offered by NIH (in the aging/dementia space). The listing indicates an award ceiling of $500,000, and the original closing date was 2023-10-23. While the source text does not specify the number of expected awards, the emphasis is clearly on supporting rigorous instrument development work that can be used broadly in subsequent observational, services, and policy research on AD/ADRD.
Eligibility is broad and includes many common applicant types: state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) as well as small businesses; and other entities. The NOFO also highlights additional eligible applicants such as Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, AANAPISIS institutions, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities, faith-based or community-based organizations, eligible federal agencies, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and even non-U.S. (foreign) organizations. Taken together, this reflects NIH's intent to encourage participation from a wide range of research institutions and community-linked organizations that may be well-positioned to develop measures that work across diverse families, cultures, and caregiving arrangements.
In short, this opportunity is about building the measurement foundation the field needs: practical, validated tools that accurately capture financial hardship as it is actually experienced in AD/ADRD households, including shared or transferred financial responsibility, so researchers can better study how financial strain interacts with care needs, caregiver burden, and quality of life over the course of dementia.Apply for RFA AG 24 036
