Funding Opportunities
Adult Maturational Changes and Dysfunctions in Emotion Regulation
National Institutes of Health (NIH); National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH); National Institute on Aging (NIA); This funding opportunity
announcement (FOA) invites applications for mechanistic research on how ageand sex-related changes in emotion processing develop over the adult life course
and how these changes may interact with and inform the understanding of
affective dysregulation in adult mental disorders and Alzheimer's disease. In
particular, research is sought that will leverage the already established
normative backdrop of generally improved emotion regulation with aging, as
well as research that will expand this evidence base. One aim is to clarify the
trajectories of change in emotion processing and linked neurobiological and
neurobehavioral factors in aging adults who experience mood and anxiety
disorders. Proposals are due June 22, 2016. For more information, visit

broadest possible engagement of scholars and the public with the resources of

while enriching our understanding of the common good. Proposals are due
