Research Support Summary of Major NIA Support Mechanisms NIA's extramural programs support a variety of research project grant mechanisms. They are appropriate for individuals with different levels of experience and who conduct different types of research. For most mechanisms, principal investigators must be conducting research at the postdoctoral level. Specific grant mechanisms are available for researchers beginning their career; other mechanisms are available for midcareer and senior researchers. Other mechanisms that support a multidisciplinary team of researchers and may involve cooperation among three or more investigators addressing a common theme. For these mechanisms (program project grants, center grants,and cooperative research studies), applicants should discuss plans with the appropriate NIA program staff prior to submitting a proposal. Contact OEAQuery@EXMUR.NIA.NIH.GOV, for general information about NIA's extramural programs. The individual content areas of research on aging (e.g, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, demography) that are supported by the Institute are described on the NIA Research Programs page.
