This $4.385 million project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research into digital detection of social isolation and loneliness markers of risk for Alzheimer's disease. The University of California, San Diego will collect data from 128 cognitively normal older adults divided into high- and low-risk groups based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and subtle cognitive decline markers. Researchers will administer in-lab standard measures as well as...
This federal Project Grant award of $102,780 from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279) aims to investigate the role of loneliness on substance use and HIV-related outcomes among sexual minority men in the United States and Canada. The key products and services to be delivered through this grant include: 1) examining the relationship between loneliness, substance use (including drug, alcohol, and polysubstance use), and HIV...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the CFDA program "Mental Health Research Grants" (93.242), aims to enhance the precision of suicide risk predictions among older adults by integrating insights into loneliness and social isolation through the digital phenotyping of electronic health records (EHRs). The $247,894 award to Emory University will fund a 2-year research project with three main objectives: 1) developing and...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $887,750 project grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Fenway Community Health Center, Inc. to develop and pilot a novel peer-led intervention called "Bridge to Belonging (B2B)" to reduce depression and loneliness among older gay and bisexual men living with HIV. The B2B intervention will leverage evidence-based strategies including cognitive behavioral therapy-based friendship enrichment programs, motivational interviewing...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $124,526 Project Grant under its Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Florida. The project aims to examine disparities in the risk of dementia among people living with HIV aged 50 and older, and prototype an early warning system (EWS) to identify those at high risk of developing dementia. The key activities include: Developing methods to extract relevant characteristics and outcomes from real-world data sources...
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) aims to investigate neuroinflammation and identify molecular markers associated with cognitive impairment in individuals with well-controlled HIV. The $131,922 award, effective August 15, 2024 through May 31, 2029, will support the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Division's research to: 1) map microglia activation states in mouse...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a 5-year, $1,550,462 study to investigate the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk genes on brain function in HIV-positive older Black/African American adults. The multidisciplinary study will enroll 120 HIV-positive participants (60 with and 60 without the APOE E4 gene variant) and 80 demographically matched controls to assess cognitive function, brain imaging, and biomarkers related to...
This National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) Project Grant award of $619,511 will fund a study at the University of Miami to investigate the impact of aging on metabolic deficits and immune dysfunction in people living with HIV (PWH). The 5-year study (July 2024 - June 2029) will evaluate the serum metabolic profiles of PWH and how this influences the function, phenotype, and transcriptional profiles of key immune cell types. The research aims to identify senescent and metabolic...
This federal Project Grant award for $2,366,213 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The purpose of the study, titled "IMPACT OF CHANGE IN LIFESTYLE HEALTH BEHAVIORS ON COGNITION: HARMONIZING AND LEVERAGING PARTICIPANT-LEVEL DATA FROM RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS", is to examine how changes in lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, cognitive activity, diet, and social engagement impact cognitive outcomes in...

This $123,579 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) will support a mixed-methods research study at Northeastern University. The study aims to examine the interplay of social and physical environmental factors, loneliness, and cognitive health among older adults living with HIV.

Specifically, the research will: 1) Determine the longitudinal patterns of loneliness and cognition over time in this population; 2) Identify social and physical environment-level factors related to loneliness and cognition; and 3) Elicit perspectives on how person- and environmental-level factors affect cognitive health and how loneliness subgroups differ. This work will provide critical insights into the complex, multifactorial contributors to the relationship between loneliness and cognitive function in older adults aging with HIV. The findings are intended to inform future research and the development of effective strategies to improve the health and well-being of this population.
