This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications that propose basic, clinical, or translational research on non-healing ulcerative wounds and their consequences in aging and in older persons.
Applications are encouraged which focus on the 1) biology, etiology and pathophysiology
of non-healing ulcerative wounds 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 non-healing wounds in older adults.
Research supported by this initiative should enhance knowledge of non-healing wounds and their consequences in older adults and provide evidence-based guidance in the diagnosis, evaluation, and/or treatment of non-healing wounds in older persons.
