- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $333,125 Project Grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program to George Washington University. The grant, which runs from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will fund the development and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms to predict body composition and physical function in older adults using low-cost 3D optical body scanning technology. The research aims to provide accessible and scalable methods to assess...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) aims to develop, evaluate, and implement virtual reality (VR)-based cognitive stimulation games to enhance attention and prevent delirium in older surgical patients with cognitive impairment. The $242,840 award, effective September 2, 2025, will support a 5-year randomized controlled pilot trial led by Dr. Hina Faisal, an Assistant Professor at the Houston Methodist...
- The U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,089,329 Project Grant to Homecare Hub US Inc. under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to scale a network of small community-based care homes as a high-value alternative to institutional long-term care. The project aims to demonstrate improved health outcomes for seniors by leveraging a technology platform that facilitates personalized, cost-effective care through a decentralized network of 2-12 person residential care...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $650,872 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the bioenergetic, physiological, and gait mechanics mechanisms that contribute to the high energetic cost of walking in older adults. The 5-year project, which began on August 15, 2025, will use clinical, laboratory, and sensor-based assessments to detect changes in health and mobility consistent with the onset and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $152,237.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant supports research to investigate neuromuscular adaptation to exercise in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project aims to determine the neuromuscular adaptive response to endurance exercise training in AD mouse models before the onset of overt AD-like pathology. Key objectives include assessing mitochondrial...
- This $4,449,044 National Institute on Aging project grant will support the development of statistical models and biomarkers linking cognitive and physical decline to dementia and disability onset. Funded under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), the University of Maryland, Baltimore will analyze data from over 11,000 older adults in eight cohorts. Researchers will test relationships between biomarkers of aging and longitudinal cognitive-physical decline as well as time to joint...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $858,000 Project Grant under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research to the University of Colorado-Denver to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes of the E-GAPCARE telehealth intervention. E-GAPCARE aims to expand the reach of the in-person Geriatric Acute and Post-Acute Care (GAPCARE) fall prevention program for older adult emergency department patients. The 2-year project, running from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will test the...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $349,333 to Rendever, Inc. to develop and test the feasibility of a new virtual reality (VR) platform for dementia caregivers. The VR-CARES initiative aims to create a novel support system that enables in-home caregivers to connect virtually, participate in support groups, access training, and engage in shared experiences with their care recipients using...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $120,858 project grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The grant will fund the "Preserving Ability through Virtual Exercise (PAVE)" project, which aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a virtual reality physical activity intervention to help older adults maintain physical function during hospital stays. The key objectives are to determine the feasibility of the virtual reality intervention among hospitalized older adults and test if the intervention increases physical activity and maintains physical function compared to an education control group. The project will run from September 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
