This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites applications that aim to develop Common Data Elements (CDEs) for NIA-funded studies on Alzheimers disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) using Real-World Data (RWD) from electronic health records and claims data from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

Services (CMS).
The CDEs will foster data harmonization and interoperability across and among NIA studies that involve disparate and unaligned data fields and RWD.
By reducing the efforts required for data harmonization in using studies and RWD for cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis, this NOFO may enable researchers to utilize studies data and RWD more efficiently and produce real-world evidence (RWE) in a timely manner with longitudinal data from NIA-funded studies and RWD.
