The National Institute on Aging (NIA) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to invite applications to create a national consortium of researchers, clinicians, and electronic health record (EHR) vendors. The consortium will conduct research to evaluate clinical effectiveness impacts of different care approaches on whole-person outcomes and quality metrics. This NOFO is intended to support collaborative research efforts for scaling EHR interventions. The consortium will identify proven primary care interventions for older adults with complex medical issues including multiple chronic conditions—ranging from preventive services and chronic care coordination to deprescribing and goal-setting—then integrate these into interoperable, AI- and machine learning-enhanced platforms to support both individual patient care and population health management. Applicants and their partners will build and deploy user-centered dashboards, validate their effectiveness in real-world settings, and address implementation barriers (people, processes, technology). Applications are not being solicited at this time. Notice is being provided to allow potential applicants sufficient time to develop meaningful collaborations and responsive projects. This NOFO intends to utilize the U24 activity code. Investigators with expertise and insights into this area of aging research are encouraged to begin to consider applying for this new NOFO.
