NIA Holds Closed Meeting for Aging Research Contract Proposal Reviews
Published Date: 3/20/2025
Notice
Summary
The National Institute on Aging is holding a private virtual meeting on April 23, 2025, to review contract proposals related to aging research. This meeting affects researchers and companies submitting proposals, ensuring their ideas and personal info stay confidential. No money changes are announced, but this review helps decide future research contracts.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Proposal Confidentiality Protected
The meeting is closed to the public on April 23, 2025, so contract proposals and personal information submitted to the National Institute on Aging can remain confidential. The notice says proposals could disclose trade secrets or personal data and that disclosure would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy, so those details will be kept private during the review.
Review Influences Future Research Contracts
On April 23, 2025, the panel will review and evaluate contract proposals, and that review helps decide future research contracts. If you submit a proposal, this meeting directly affects the evaluation process that can determine whether your organization is awarded a research contract.

2026-16440, NIH Owned Invention Available for License: Soluble Tissue Factor, a Novel Target, and Antibodies, for Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Thrombosis and Related Conditions
Scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have discovered a novel therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic target for thrombosis: Soluble Tissue Factor (sTF). NCI has generated first-in- class antibodies and platform selectively neutralizing pathological coagulation while preserving normal hemostasis. This platform technology can be used to prevent, diagnose and treat pathological thrombosis caused by a variety of clinical conditions-including cancer, sepsis, infectious diseases (e.g., COVID), autoimmune disorders, trauma, heart conditions and inflammatory conditions. It offers a much more sensitive and specific test of thrombosis than the current D-dimer test. It may be applicable to any clinical condition which induces necroptosis, pyroptosis and NETtosis, such as cancer, neurodegenerative disease, ischemia-reperfusion and acute injuries, traumatic injuries, bacterial and viral infections, cardiovascular conditions, and atherosclerosis, inflammatory, autoimmune conditions, and others.
