This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications that propose basic, clinical, or translational research on underactive bladder (UAB) and its consequences in aging and in older persons.
Applications should focus on the 1) biology, etiology and pathophysiology of UAB in animal models
and/or older adults; 2) translation of basic/clinical research into clinical practice and health decision-making; 3) diagnosis, prevention, management and clinical outcomes of UAB in older adults; and/or 4) epidemiology and risk factors for the development of UAB with advancing age.
Research supported by this initiative should enhance knowledge of UAB and its consequences in older adults and provide evidence-based guidance in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of UAB in older persons.
