Schizophrenia and related disorders during mid- to late-life (R21)
Funds short, exploratory work on how schizophrenia emerges and changes after 35 — the age group nearly all the research has skipped.
Most people living with schizophrenia are over 35 — some diagnosed decades ago and ageing with the illness, some diagnosed late. Almost all the research attention has gone to first-episode psychosis in young adults, and the result is that the mechanisms driving the illness in mid and late life are, in NIH's own words, poorly understood.
