The NIA seeks applications proposing a Coordinating Center (CC) for the Claude D.

The CC serves a facilitating role for OAIC site interactions as well as a conduit for translating OAIC objectives and findings to both scientific
credit:

The proposed CC must demonstrate an ability to work cooperatively with all OAIC sites and possess sufficient scientific expertise in geriatrics and related areas to serve the national clearinghouse functions of the OAIC program.
The CC should be proposed only by institutions with (1) the ability to coordinate multi-site projects as demonstrated by previous HHS funding for a coordinating center of a multi-site research grant, and (2) demonstrated scientific expertise in clinical aging research.
