The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to invite applications to establish a coordinating center that will serve as a centralized hub for accessing, harmonizing, linking, and sharing environmental contextual data and individual exposure data with NIA/NIH-funded projects in order to foster collaboration and accelerate life course research on the social, behavioral, psychological, and economic exposures that shape Alzheimers disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) outcomes and inequities. Applications to establish the AD/ADRD Exposome Coordinating Center (AD/ADRD Exposome CC) should identify five to seven social, behavioral, psychological, and economic exposome domains relevant to AD/ADRD, and describe activities related to the domains that will achieve the three objectives of this FOA:

• Develop an organizational and governance structure to support the administration, innovation, and dissemination functions of the AD/ADRD Exposome CC.
• Propose activities to establish guidance and practices for the use and harmonization of exposure data across NIA-supported infrastructure projects, as well as other longitudinal studies of aging.
• Propose and support activities for the development of innovative and novel exposure measures and data.
• Disseminate resources and products developed by the AD/ADRD Exposome CC to the broader AD/ADRD research community to expand the use of social and behavioral data and harmonized measures in a wide range of studies.
