FY 2008The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is currently preparing to close out FY 2008. This summer, NIA proposed reprogramming to reallocate funds from non-competing Research Project Grants (RPGs), Other Research, and Research Training to Competing RPGs in order to extend our payline and support the target level of new investigators.
On June 30, 2008, the President signed into law H.R. 2642, the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008. This Act provided an additional $150 million to NIH. The NIA portion was $5.57 million. An amount of $1.792 million was transferred from NIA to the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) for the Genes, Environment and Health Initiative (GEI) to support research that will lead to the understanding of genetic contributions and gene-environment interactions in common disease. As a result of these actions, NIA’s revised FY 2008 enacted level is $1,051.038 million, an increase of $3.778 million or 3.6 percent above FY 2007.
On July 16, Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) introduced for himself and Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) S. 3272, a bill to make emergency supplemental appropriations for the National Institutes of Health for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008. This supplemental would provide $5.2 billion for NIH, $4.0 billion of which would be appropriated to the Office of the Director, NIH, “which shall be transferred to the Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health to be used to support additional scientific research” and $1.2 billion would be for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support scientific research. No part of these funds would be available beyond the current fiscal year.
FY 2009On July 16, the Senate Committee on Appropriations held a hearing on the NIH FY 2009 budget in which Dr. Elias Zerhouni, Director, NIH, was accompanied by the Directors of NCI, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and NHGRI. This hearing marked a departure from those of the past several years; at this hearing NIH witnesses were encouraged to offer to the Subcommittee a vision of what the future for NIH should look like from both a science and a budgetary standpoint. Plans for future budget needs were described and Senators Harkin and Specter announced that they were planning to introduce a $5.2 billion supplemental bill for NIH immediately following the hearing. NIH witnesses were encouraged to discuss what large scale projects would be undertaken if there were large increases in funding, and witnesses responded by describing the unprecedented opportunities and possibilities today, based on investments of the past.
FY 2010
Preliminary work on the budget for FY 2010 has begun using the FY 2009 President’s budget request as the base. After intermediate stages of review, the President’s budget request for FY 2010 will be presented to Congress in February 2009, at which time it will become available to the public.
A table showing the NIA FY 2007, 2008, and 2009 funding levels by budget mechanism is included below. Please note that the FY 2008 column reflects the Supplemental funding and the GEI transfer; however, it does not reflect the proposed NIA reprogramming.

I. Past Meetings
Exploratory Meeting on Health Services, Health Systems and the Elderly – June 10, 2008This DBSR-funded exploratory meeting was held in conjunction with the annual research meeting in Washington, DC, of Academy Health. A group of 10-12 experts discussed research priorities and scientific opportunities in health policy, health care organization, and health and long-term care financing, which are topics of special relevance to the health and well-being of the elderly. (For more information, contact Dr. John Haaga, DBSR, Ph: 301-496-3131.)
The Role of the Vascular System in Neurological Diseases of the Aging Brain - June 12-13, 2008 The NIA Division of Neuroscience (DN) in collaboration with the Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology (DGCG) and the Neurodegenerative Diseases Branch of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), organized this exploratory workshop which took place June 12-13, 2008, in Bethesda, MD. The workshop brought together investigators from a variety of disciplines to examine current knowledge on physiology, cell and molecular biology and vascular pathology in the brain and the relationship to Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias, as well as cognitive, motor, or affective dysfunction. Important issues addressed included: (1) impairments in cerebral blood flow autoregulation, (2) hypertension, (3) effects of changes in the vascular wall on blood-brain barrier function, and (4) the degree to which adverse age-related changes in the brain vasculature are unique to the brain or reflect systemic vascular changes. (For more information, contact Dr. Creighton Phelps, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350, phelpsc@nia.nih.gov).
Mechanisms and Management of Pain in the Elderly - June 30 - July 1, 2008DN, in collaboration with DGCG, DBSR, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the NIH Pain Consortium, organized an exploratory workshop on “Mechanisms and Management of Pain in the Elderly,” which took place in Bethesda, MD, on June 30 and July 1, 2008. Pain is one of the most common reasons for physician visits in general and costs associated with pain are extremely high. The prevalence of pain among the elderly in the age range of 75-86 years is at least 5 times higher than in the 25-34 years age group. Despite recent growth in the understanding of the molecular entities and neural pathways involved in pain sensation and experience in the periphery and central nervous systems, few of these advances have been translated into understandings of the mechanisms, assessment and treatment of pain conditions relevant to the elderly population. This workshop convened 30 leading experts in various aspects of pain research as well as geriatricians working on issues related to pain to identify the gaps, barriers, and opportunities for aging research on pain mechanisms, assessment, and treatment/management. The workshop explored three major themes: the complexity of pain in the elderly, assessment and measurement of pain in the elderly, and treatment and management of pain in the elderly. (For more information, contact Dr. Wen G. Chen, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350; chenw@nia.nih.gov.)
Workshop on Meditation for Health Purposes – July 8-9, 2008NIA joined several other NIH institutes/centers to co-sponsor this exploratory meeting led by NCCAM in Bethesda, MD. The meeting brought together biomedical and behavioral researchers from within and outside the field of meditation research to discuss future directions for research on meditation at NIH. Discussions focused on (1) the key features of meditation practices, (2) the psychological processes and outcomes involved in meditation, (3) the impact of meditation on physiological mechanisms, and (4) issues in the design of research studies linking meditation and health. Because one of DBSR’s areas of emphasis includes behavioral and mind-body interventions, DBSR will work with NCCAM to identify new opportunities that may promote knowledge on meditation and health outcomes. (For more information, contact Dr. Lis Nielsen, BSR, Ph: 301-402-4156.)
Bridging Population and Laboratory Science to Advance Research on Social and Economic Behaviors of Relevance to Aging – July 14-15, 2008DBSR co-sponsored this exploratory meeting with the United Kingdom (UK) Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in London, UK, to explore opportunities for bridging laboratory and survey science in the study of economic and social behaviors. Participants included researchers from the US and UK working in areas of behavioral and neuroeconomics, social and affective neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, sociology, psychology, gerontology, and epidemiology. Discussions focused on opportunities for developing interfaces between population-based and experimental science, on exploring how methods and analytic approaches might translate across disciplines, and on identifying key questions for aging research. This meeting was designed to explore the potential for cross-national collaboration in advancing research on economic and social behaviors of relevance to aging. (For more information, contact Dr. Lis Nielsen, BSR, Ph: 301-402-4156.)
Epigenetic Mechanisms of Aging and Age-Related Diseases - July 15-16, 2008 DN, in collaboration with the Division of Aging Biology (DAB) and DGCG, held an exploratory workshop on July 15-16, 2008, in Bethesda, MD, which focused on epigenetic mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases. The speakers, who were experts from the fields of epigenetics and genetics, provided an overview of the current state of knowledge in epigenomics and highlighted areas of aging research that will most benefit from this new science. The workshop was part of NIA’s effort to capitalize on the newly launched Roadmap Epigenomics Initiative. (For more information, contact Dr. Suzana Petanceska, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350; petanceskas@nia.nih.gov , or Dr. Anna McCormick, DAB, Ph: 301-496-6402; mccormia@nia.nih.gov .)
Mouse Phenotyping – July 28-29, 2008DAB sponsored an exploratory workshop on Mouse Phenotyping which was held on July 28-29, 2008, in Bethesda, MD. The purpose of the workshop was to address phenotyping of the mutant mouse models for aging research. The mouse models continue to serve as important tools in advancing aging research both at the level of aging biology and age-related conditions/disease states. The workshop provided an opportunity to discuss in-depth characterization of transgenic, knockout, and mutant mouse models used in aging research and/or with the potential to be of value to the aging field. The discussion on phenotyping included lifespan, pathology at death, assessments of physical and cognitive function, and incidence of age-associated diseases. The experts drawn from the pool of investigators, including those using specific mutant, transgenic, and knockout models in aging research, and wild-type mouse models in aging research, and those working primarily in human subjects, provided their input on the need for such a program and its potential value for advancing aging research. The workshop produced an excellent outcome and provided a good perspective on the translational value of different mouse phenotyping protocols. (For more information, contact: Dr. Mahadev Murthy, DAB, Ph: 301-402-7749.)
Exploratory Meeting on Health Economics - July 31, 2008This DBSR- funded meeting was held in Cambridge, MA, in conjunction with the National Bureau of Economic Research Summer Institute on Aging. The meeting explored issues such as the usefulness of microsimulation models for forecasting and new research on disparities in health care utilization and expenditures. (For more information, contact Dr. John Phillips, BSR, Ph: 301-496-3138.)
Expert Meeting on Sociology and Demography of Aging - August 2, 2008DBSR has previously commissioned short papers from eight leading experts in demography and sociology on scientific priorities in their fields and new developments (in data and methods) that might be brought to bear on issues relevant to the health and well-being of the elderly and understanding social processes in aging. These papers were shared then discussed at this exploratory meeting, held in Boston, MA, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association. (For more information, contact Georgeanne Patmios, DBSR, Ph: 301-496-3138.)
Role of ApoE and its Receptors in Normal Brain Aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease - August 13-14, 2008DN organized a multidisciplinary advisory workshop on “The Role of ApoE and its Receptors in Normal Brain Aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease” which was held in Bethesda, MD, on August 13-14, 2008. ApoE is a pleiotropic protein which regulates multiple metabolic and signaling pathways in the periphery and in the central nervous system (CNS), and, in addition, is a ligand for a number of receptors. The purpose of this workshop was to examine the current state of knowledge concerning the biology of ApoE and its receptors with an emphasis on their role in normal brain aging and in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). A major subject of discussion was the advances and challenges in the drug discovery arena aimed at ApoE as a therapeutic target, with the goal of identifying new avenues for future investigation. (For more information, contact Dr. Suzana Petanceska, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350, petanceskas@nia.nih.gov.)
Biology of Aging Summit – September 2-5, 2008An advisory meeting, the Biology of Aging Summit, was held on September 2-5, 2008, in Gaithersburg, MD. The purpose of the meeting was to gain further insight into the entire scope of the science that DAB supports and/or should support. A group of 40 leaders in the field discussed a total of 15 topics initially selected by DAB staff with the help of a 6-member “advisory group” chosen from the community. The discussion was preceded by a month-long web forum discussion. The meeting will help DAB staff formulate cohesive and comprehensive development plans for the future (possibly in the form of RFAs and/or PAs). The proceedings will be published as a series of articles, probably in the Journal of Gerontology, Biological Sciences, and a full report will be provided to NACA at the January meeting. (For more information, contact Dr. Felipe Sierra, DAB, Ph: 301-496-6402).
Stress, Aging, the Brain, and the Body - September 8-9, 2008Stress-linked diseases are now being recognized as important causes of morbidity and public health concern in our ever more complex society. Elucidation of the underlying neural and psychological mechanisms involved in the stress response and their interactions with changes associated with aging need to be investigated and interventions developed. DN, in collaboration with DAB and DBSR, organized and held a multidisciplinary exploratory workshop on September 8-9, 2008, in Bethesda, MD. This NIA-sponsored workshop brought together leading experts from various fields of stress research with the goal of assessing current knowledge and identifying new avenues for future investigation and collaboration. (For more information, contact Dr. Andrew Monjan, DN, Ph: 301-496-9350, monjana@nia.nih.gov.)
