This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites applications focused on interpersonal processes in the context of triadic interactions in clinical contexts involving caregivers, individuals with Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD), and health care practitioners and the impact of those processes on patient outcomes. The goal of this initiative is to support research that can lead to the development of interventions for optimizing communication among patients, caregivers, and healthcare practitioners and for preserving strong and supportive caregiving relationships throughout disease progression along the continuum of care for people with AD/ADRD. To these ends, basic research and translational research is solicited in two high-priority areas: (1) effective communications and relationships among patients, healthcare practitioners, and caregivers; and (2) associations between close relationship processes and health in caregiving relationships.
