The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit an Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease related dementias (AD/ADRD)-focused U01 that is ancillary to, but integrated with, the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS) U19 (see PAR-21-156) to provide in-depth information to elucidate behavioral, social, psychological and biological pathways of risk and resilience to cognitive decline and AD/ADRD. In addition to capitalizing on already-collected data, new measures should be included to test hypotheses regarding development of AD/ADRD via cumulative stress exposures over 30 prior years of data collection. As well, the research should examine the protective influence of psychosocial resources, affective style, and lifestyle factors assessed over multiple prior waves of MIDUS. The new assessments on two national samples with many years of information on potential influences on AD/ADRD hold potential for yielding invaluable insights relevant for preventative interventions and treatments in future studies.
