Long-Term Effects of Disasters on Health Care Systems Serving Health Disparity Populations (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional)
NIMHD is partnering with National Institute on Aging (NIA), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA): PA-20-172. The FOA is titled: Long-Term Effects of Disasters on Health Care Systems Serving Health Disparity Populations (R01 – Clinical Trial Optional).

Long-running fractures study doubles as a bountiful women’s health data source
Rosaly Correa-De-Araujo, Senior Scientific Advisor to the Director, Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology (DGCG)
More than one third of older adults fall each year. The risk of falling and fall-related problems like fractures and loss of mobility rises with age and is affected by other health conditions and some medications.
A rich collection of data and samples from the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF), one of the most influential and long-running studies of its kind, is now available from NIA’s AgingResearchBiobank, offering decades of women’s health data that goes far beyond broken bones.

SHARP Staff – Return to Campus
We are in the midst of our Return to Campus plan and you may be seeing us in the office more often. We need to adhere to the social distancing requirements in our shared space, and we will be working on modified schedules until a full return is feasible. All SHARP staff continue to be reachable by phone, email, and text, whether in the office or working remotely. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Please note that the SHARP staff are working 100% remotely at this time and are still fully available for virtual meetings and discussion. We have nearly every normal tool at our disposal during this time and are only limited by face-to-face interactions and campus-based physical resources. If you have any questions or concerns—reach out!
