Deadlines:
Letter of Intent: September 29, 2023
Application: October 31, 2023
Purpose
This NOFO invites applications to address health equity, drug costs, and access to new therapeutics for people living with AD/ADRD. Applicants must identify preferences for pharmacological treatment among racial and ethnic minorities living with AD/ADRD, assess whether cost barriers to pharmacological care exist for these groups, and quantify expenditures and HRQoL among people interested in receiving novel drugs to treat AD/ADRD.
Research Objectives
The goals of this NOFO are to identify whether cost-associated barriers to receiving novel therapeutics exist for racial and ethnic minority people living with AD/ADRD, and to evaluate the cost- effectiveness and health equity implications of new therapeutics in these populations. Studies proposed under this NOFO must clearly identify sub-population(s) to be engaged and methods for recruitment. Additionally, studies must provide a scientific rationale for selecting specific sub-populations. Investigators must conduct research to understand how, why, and for whom novel drugs are recommended and prescribed; who receives novel drugs; how long drugs are taken; how much novel drugs cost patients and caregivers in out-of-pocket payments, and the real-world health-related quality of life and well-being impacts of receiving novel drugs. This NOFO will support new research projects that conduct rigorous stakeholder engagement efforts and develop model parameters using both stakeholder input and quantitative data.
