For any mid-career investigators with a budding interest or existing expertise in pathology of non-human primate models, please see below from the NIH NIA. There is a very specialized upcoming K18 FOA that may be of interest. For those outside the United States, please forgive the alphabet soup of acronyms that mean nothing to you! Jey Koehler, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP Professor and Tyler & Frances Young Endowed Chair in Pathology Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine President, Davis-Thompson Foundation www.davisthompsonfoundation.org<http://www.davisthompsonfoundation.org/> From: Nguyen, Carol (NIH/NIA/ERP) [E] <carol.nguyen@nih.gov> Sent: Thursday, May 9, 2024 12:56 PM To: Jey Koehler <jaw0007@auburn.edu> Subject: [EXT] National Institute on Aging Intends to Publish a Funding Opportunity for K18 Career Enhancement Awards for Mid-career Investigators with Expertise in Human and/or NHP Studies CAUTION: Email Originated Outside of Auburn. Dear Dr. Koehler - We're writing to let you know that the National Institute on Aging intends to publish an RFA with targeted funding to facilitate cross-training and skill development of mid-career investigators with existing expertise in human and/or nonhuman primate (NHP) studies. This funding opportunity is intended to expand the community of researchers in comparative primate research, with a specific focus on enhancing the investigator's capability to lead studies to elucidate the bases for primate species differences in life span and age-related conditions. This interdisciplinary collaboration for mentored training is expected to be mutually beneficial, providing both the mentor and applicant with a broadened research scope, as well as expanded networks for future collaboration and resource access. We think that this opportunity may be of interest to some researchers at the Davis-Thompson Foundation, as either mid-career applicants or as supporting mentors with expertise in the areas of interest. We would appreciate any advice and/or help you could provide us in making your colleagues aware of this upcoming potential funding opportunity. If you or your colleagues would like to learn more about this opportunity, additional information can be found in the recently published NOITP linked below: NOT-AG-24-016<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/...> - Notice of Intent to Publish (NOITP) a Funding Opportunity Announcement for Mentored Career Enhancement Awards to Build Cross-Disciplinary Knowledge and Skills for Comparative Studies of Human and Nonhuman Primate Species with Differing Life Spans (K18) Please feel free to share this information and to contact us with any questions you may have regarding this NOITP.
