Roybal Centers Cross-Center Call for Proposals: Clinical Trials on Behavioral Interventions in Aging
NIA Edward R. Roybal Centers for Translational Research (national coordinating site)
A single coordinated call routed across 14 NIA-funded Roybal Centers, each with its own aging theme, funding fully powered clinical trials of behavioral interventions in aging framed by the NIH Stage Model. Applicants pick the center whose theme fits their proposal and follow that center's instructions; several centers accept investigators from any U.S. institution, which makes this the main externally-open door into university-hosted Roybal pilot infrastructure.
