Albert Einstein College of Medicine received a $134,044 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective July 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. This Academic Leadership Career Award funds the establishment of a life-course epidemiology research program focused on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), addressing the gap in prevention-oriented research at the institution. The program will develop evidence-based interventions targeting modifiable risk factors identified by the Lancet Commission as preventable in approximately half of ADRD cases, with particular emphasis on early intervention windows prior to disease onset. The award supports the creation of a national resource in life-course epidemiology of aging and ADRD, with capacity-building activities to train the next generation of ADRD researchers. This initiative is strategically positioned in the Bronx, where Einstein is located in one of the top three U.S. counties with the highest ADRD prevalence. The program's ultimate objectives include reducing the disease burden in the Bronx and nationally through expanded institutional expertise in life-course approaches—methodologies that remain underutilized despite their critical importance for understanding optimal timing and targets for risk factor modification in aging populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
