The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $128,520 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866: Aging Research) to the University of Michigan, effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The award funds the "Assessing Resources in the Built Environment for Aging and Sensory Health (AREAS)" initiative, which investigates the relationship between place-based environmental factors and sensory health outcomes—specifically vision, hearing, olfaction, and dual sensory loss—in aging populations. The research employs two complementary methodologies: secondary data analysis using the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) to examine associations between air quality exposure and sensory outcomes, and prospective mixed-methods data collection to identify whether the built environment moderates the relationship between air quality and sensory health. The project deliverables include empirical findings on built environment factors that influence sensory loss trajectories in older adults, a tailored built environment assessment survey designed through stakeholder engagement with individuals experiencing hearing, vision, or olfaction impairment, and research outputs addressing a documented gap in the literature regarding environmental modifiers of age-related sensory decline. The research is supported by a multidisciplinary mentorship team with expertise in aging, sensory research, survey methodology, spatial epidemiology, and mixed-methods design, positioning the work to advance evidence-based environmental interventions and policy recommendations for aging populations with sensory impairments.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
