This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) provides $1,394,250 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to study the molecular mechanisms underlying pathological aging of the human brain and adipose tissue, as well as their inter-organ communication. The project aims to investigate the heterogeneity of human aging and identify the common pathological aging mechanisms shared between the brain (e.g., hippocampus,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $416,480 to the University of Washington to map the landscape of the aged human brain and develop neurodegenerative disease models. The award will fund a two-phase research project that aims to: 1) identify molecular drivers of brain aging by applying explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to human brain datasets, and 2) manipulate these aging drivers in human induced pluripotent stem...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,128,604.00 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the relationships between immunosenescence, brain aging biomarkers, and cognition across non-human primate species with differing lifespans. The project aims to elucidate the role of the immune system in longevity, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline, which may inform the development of immuno-restorative...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $1,359,000.00 to Baylor College of Medicine to conduct research on age-associated cellular and molecular adaptations that enable whole-organism rejuvenation in the highly regenerative flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea. The research aims to (1) determine how age-associated damage manifests in asexual planaria throughout their lifecycle...
This Project Grant award of $3,462,615 from the National Institute on Aging (under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a multi-year research project by The Trustees of Columbia University in New York. The goal is to construct a "multi-organ chart" (referred to as MAE) using advanced AI/ML techniques and large-scale multi-omics data to model the cross-organ biological and pathological effects underlying Alzheimer's disease and aging. The expected outcomes are to establish a...
This Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), provides $2,855,400 to Baylor College of Medicine for a research project titled "Uncovering Brain-Wide Molecular Determinants of Individual Memory Performance Across Lifespan." Over a three-year period from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2025, the grantee will use the invertebrate model C. elegans to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $466,125 to New York University (NYU) to develop a biologically relevant multi-scale model of brain aging using advanced diffusion MRI (dMRI) techniques. The project aims to generate brain charts of quantitative dMRI and mesoscopic MRI (mesoMRI) markers across the lifespan, creating a brain microstructure age framework. This framework will then be used to evaluate the effects of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus, provides $2,330,859.00 in funding to study age-related changes in brain network connectivity and their relationship to cognitive decline. The 3-year project aims to use multimodal neuroimaging, single-cell transcriptomics, electrophysiology, and neural tract-tracing in a rhesus monkey model to delineate how...
This Project Grant award of $1,005,081 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to determine the degree to which understanding of healthy and pathological brain aging can be informed by early neurodevelopment. The key goals are to: 1) Quantify similarities and differences in the spatiotemporal progression of brain development and degeneration, 2) Determine the impact of deprivation and genetic risk on functional and structural brain development...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $137,895 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) with a project period from December 3, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The grant will fund a study to investigate how brain network connectivity is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, longitudinal pathology accumulation, and aging. Specifically, the project will use positron emission tomography (PET)...
