Cycle 1: The Midlife in the United States Study (U19)

Sponsor: National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institute on Aging (NIA)

Deadlines: January 25, 2022

Award: The purpose of this FOA is to solicit an application for the next 6-year cycle of the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) Study. The goals of this next phase are to complete the fourth wave of longitudinal data collection for the core MIDUS sample and the second wave of the MIDUS refresher sample. In conjunction with a companion announcement, PAR-21-157, this FOA solicits applications to continue biopsychosocial integrations using multiple subprojects that collect data on sociodemographic and psychosocial factors, daily experience, cognitive capacities, biomarkers, neuroscience, and gene expression and that connect these content areas through innovative analyses. A central goal of the MIDUS study is to support data dissemination, provide user support of public use files, and encourage data use broadly by the scientific community. Application budgets are not limited but need to reflect the actual needs of the proposed project.
