BBSRC National Institute on Aging: co-funding scheme

In 2009 BBSRC and National Institute on Aging (NIA) funded six grants via the joint Collaborative research on the biology of ageing (see related links) whereby NIA funded US partners (total $3M) and BBSRC funded UK partners (total £2.6M). To continue to encourage UK-US collaborations, BBSRC and NIA have established a co-funding scheme whereby we will support the UK component of joint UK-US projects submitted to the NIA grant funding system. Currently, up to £2M is available for this scheme.

The funders wish to encourage high quality, innovative collaborative research to advance the understanding in the biology ageing in specific topics including: Age-related changes in circadian rhythms and sleep - how the ageing process affects circadian/biological rhythms and sleep, and implications for health and wellbeing in later life.
