Opportunity Summary:
The Macroeconomic Aspects of Population Aging (R01) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAR-12-186) is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant announcement focused on the large-scale, economy-wide consequences of population aging and the feedback loop between macroeconomic conditions and individual health and well-being. In practical terms, the FOA is looking for research that treats aging not only as a biomedical or individual-level issue, but as a demographic shift that can reshape national and regional economies, public finances, labor markets, productivity, savings and investment patterns, and the structure and sustainability of health and retirement systems. Just as importantly, it also encourages work on the reverse direction of influence: how changes in the broader economy (for example, recessions, wage growth, inflation, unemployment, or fiscal policy) can affect the health outcomes, functional status, and overall quality of life of older adults and aging populations.
This FOA uses the NIH R01 mechanism, meaning it is aimed at hypothesis-driven, investigator-initiated research projects that can support a well-developed research plan. The scientific emphasis is explicitly macroeconomic: projects are expected to engage with population aging at a scale where economy-wide aggregates, policy environments, and demographic composition matter, rather than focusing only on clinical interventions or small-scale program evaluations. Appropriate studies might involve macroeconomic modeling, empirical analysis using large administrative or survey datasets, cross-national comparisons of aging economies, or other approaches that connect demographic aging to outcomes like economic growth, public spending pressures, intergenerational transfers, labor supply changes, and health and well-being patterns. Because the topic statement includes both directions of causality, the scope can include how aging shifts the economy and how the economy in turn shapes later-life health trajectories, access to care, financial security, and social determinants of health.
In terms of administrative details, the opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.866 (Aging Research). It is a discretionary grant with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The announcement was posted on May 15, 2012, and the original and current closing date listed is October 3, 2014, with an archive date of November 3, 2014, indicating it is no longer open for new applications and has been archived for reference.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. organizations such as public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including counties, cities, townships, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The FOA also explicitly lists additional eligible applicants including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions, Hispanic-serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, U.S. territories or possessions, and eligible federal agencies. Notably, non-U.S. entities are eligible as well: foreign institutions may apply, non-domestic components of U.S. organizations may apply, and foreign components (as defined by NIH policy) are allowed, which supports international or comparative research on population aging and macroeconomic dynamics.
For access and technical issues related to the full announcement, the NIH Office of Extramural Research (OER) webmaster contact is provided (FBOWebmaster@OD.NIH.GOV), including support if applicants have trouble retrieving the announcement online or linking to the funding notice.
