National Institute of Aging: Aging-Relevant Behavioral and Social Research on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Notice of Special Interest (NOSI): Aging-Relevant Behavioral and Social Research on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)


The National Institute of Aging is issuing this Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to highlight the continuing need for behavioral, psychological, social, and economic research on SARS-CoV-2 and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There is a need for ongoing research on the longer-term effects of COVID-19 on the health and well-being of those infected, those caring for the sick, and many others whose lives were disrupted by the pandemic and its associated mitigation and prevention strategies. Beyond effects on individuals, this pandemic has brought about unprecedented social and economic disruption that is expected to have long-term and profound effects on the health of the population, particularly COVID-19 vulnerable groups including older adults. Interested PIs can apply through the Parent R01, R21, and R03 opportunities, as well as several NIA-specific funding opportunity announcements.

Application due dates: Multiple due dates between 3/4/2021 through 5/8/2023
