Did you know that there is a tool that helps researchers create outreach materials with headlines and images that have already been audience-tested? NIA conducted formative testing, including focus groups and national surveys, to create the messaging and audience-informed imagery in OutreachPro. Choose from a variety of materials, audiences, and languages, to customize outreach materials for clinical trials on Alzheimer’s disease: https://lnkd.in/eQ9UAjhk #NIHAging #OutreachPro #ClinicalTrials #Alzheimers #Recruitment

As one of the initial projects in the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® (AMP®) program, the AMP for Alzheimer’s disease (AMP AD) has driven cutting-edge research since its inception in 2014. This foundational public-private partnership has developed unprecedented datasets and launched a comprehensive online knowledge portal. The latest phase prioritizes underserved communities, adding critical data from at-risk populations, including Black and Latinx communities. We proudly share this new video celebrating AMP AD's success. Hear from The National Institutes of Health and FNIH leaders, partners, and a patient and caregiver as they reflect on achievements and future goals.

A team of NIH-funded found that in a family with an inherited form of Alzheimer’s disease, those who carried a gene variant called APOE3Ch had a delay in cognitive impairment and dementia. More research is needed to see whether APOE3Ch has a protective effect in people beyond this family and to understand how it exerts its protective effect.

NIA-funded research found that an antibody treatment given to older mice before pathogen exposure improved cell function and increased the immune systems of older mice, safeguarding them from microbes that would normally be lethal. The antibody was developed against a protein called programmed cell death 1 (PD1). Learn more about the research study and how it could potentially lead to human therapies that enhance immune function in older adults: https://lnkd.in/dp865ZxR #NIAFunded #NIHAging #Antibodies #PD1 #ImmuneFunction

NIH is taking steps to re-envision the postdoctoral training experience, but the feedback of the biomedical research community is a crucial part of this process. Among the actions under consideration are: ➡️Limiting the amount of time a postdoctoral scholar can be supported by NIH funds to five years to speed transition into research careers. ➡️ Shorten the eligibility window and refocus review criteria for a key mentored career development award (K99/R00) to facilitate more rapid transition of postdoctoral scholars. ➡️Enhancing training and professional development for postdoctoral scholars and their mentors. Share your feedback by October 23, 2024: https://go.nih.gov/amqQ7DD
