NIH Funding Opportunity: Aging and Pain

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces a call for Research Project Grant (R01) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to study biological, neurobiological, psychosocial, and clinical mechanisms and processes by which aging and/or age-related diseases affect the experience of pain; examine biological, neurobiological, psychosocial, and clinical factors that impact pain experience and prevalence in older people; evaluate existing pain assessment and/or management approaches in older adults; or develop new assessment methods and/or management strategies for pain with particular attention to the needs of older adults. Studies involving animal models or human subjects are appropriate under this program announcement.

This announcement encourages proposals to study the mechanisms and processes by which aging and/or age-related diseases and conditions affect the experience of pain, and to evaluate existing or new pain assessment methods and management approaches, especially in older adults. Studies may include molecular biological, biochemical, genetic, imaging, physiological, pathological, behavioral, social, clinical, and/or epidemiological approaches. For examples of research topics and approaches that may be considered as well as for more information, please visit grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-09-193.html.
