The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has awarded the University of Rochester a Project Grant of $325,779 under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to develop, adapt, and pilot test a peer-led intervention for caregivers of individuals with Lewy body dementia (LBD). The key objectives are to: (1) identify the dimensions and positive/negative aspects of LBD caregiving through stakeholder engagement, (2) co-design a peer-led intervention with LBD caregivers, and (3) assess the feasibility and acceptability of the pilot intervention. This innovative approach aims to go beyond a "burden-focused" model and promote balanced, caregiver-driven support to improve caregiver preparedness, well-being, and reduce social isolation. The 5-year project period runs from September 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.
