Description

Excerpt from the official forecast on Grants.gov (shortened; read the full text on the official listing):

For the purposes of this program, exposome factors of interest include, but are not limited to, environmental toxins, sleep and circadian rhythms, stress, and the real-world conditions that modulate them (e.g., light, noise, heat). Applications will be expected to propose research on the synergistic action between multiple exposome factors, and the composite effects of mixtures of exposome factors on neural mechanisms relevant to ADRD. …
