Using fruit flies as a traumatic brain injury (TBI) model may help researchers identify important genes and pathways that promote the repair of and minimise damage to the nervous system, a new study suggests. “Fruit flies actually have a very complex nervous system,” said Kim Finley from San Diego State University (SDSU) in the US.

Interim paylines

We announced interim paylines on our funding policy site the other day. When you read that we are funding to the 5th percentile for research grants, and to a score of 14 on career awards and only paying NIA-reviewed applications that achieved scores of 10 or 11 you must wonder at our apparent miserliness.

When is one not enough? Multiple chronic conditions research

Source: http://www.nia.nih.gov/research/blog/2014/12/when-one-not-enough-multiple-chronic-conditions-research

The NIA has long been interested in understanding the role of aging on the development and progression of specific chronic diseases. More recently, we’ve begun to try to understand why two or more conditions might occur together in older people, and perhaps more importantly, what to do about it. NIA released a set of Program Announcements on self-management of chronic conditions, seeking applications using R01, R15, or R21 mechanisms….
