Project Grant K08AG090629
- This $600,000 project grant was awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the federal Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant, awarded to Northwestern University on September 18, 2025, will establish the validity of a vocal demand task outcome measure to assess vocal muscle strength capacity in older adults with presbyphonia (age-related voice changes). The project aims to determine if measuring...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research at the University of Washington to investigate genomic alterations in skeletal muscle associated with aging. The key objectives are to: Explore if alternative splicing of mRNA results in quantitative differential isoform changes associated with aging, potentially leading to increased expression of non-functional proteins relevant for healthy muscle function. The researchers...
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $287,218.16 in funding to the University of Maryland, Baltimore from August 1, 2021 through March 27, 2022. The award supports research aimed at better understanding the impact of aging on muscle excitability and action potential conduction velocity. Specifically, the recipient will use electrophysiology techniques and optical imaging to examine...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $2,433,859 supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to investigate age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline. The key objectives are to study the molecular, cellular, and connectivity changes in the central auditory system during normal aging and Alzheimer's disease, with the goal of developing targeted therapeutic strategies. The research integrates single-cell sequencing,...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a Project Grant totaling $173,730 to the University of Washington under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) beginning on September 1, 2025. The goal of this Midcareer Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research is to enhance the ability of Dr. Claire Creutzfeldt to train, mentor, and support the career development of clinician-scientists focused on developing and testing interventions to improve the quality of life, quality...
- This federal Project Grant award of $698,032 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) is focused on testing the mechanisms that link high-level cognition and perception in normal aging. The research project, conducted by the University of Texas at San Antonio, aims to determine if attention control and effort, which decline with age, are the common mechanisms that connect perception and cognition. The study will use a multimodal...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,631,670 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a research initiative at The Washington University to investigate age-related deficits in episodic memory. The project aims to determine how aging distinctly affects the content and structure of memory representations, and how this relates to dysfunction in different brain networks based on susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research will utilize plasma...
- This federal Project Grant award of $203,278.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will fund research to understand the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying age-related shifts in motivation and their impact on daily life activity participation in older adults. The research will employ a multilevel, multimodal approach, utilizing behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic assessment methods to...
- This Project Grant award for $852,049.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a prospective observational cohort study to evaluate and predict oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) improvement in hospitalized patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The study aims to develop a machine learning model to predict which AD/ADRD patients are likely to have OD improvement, and to assess associations between physiologic swallow measures and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides funding to the University of Washington to conduct research on neuromuscular changes in the aging larynx. The total award amount is $161,892.00 and the project period runs from August 15, 2025 to April 30, 2030. The key objectives of this research are to: 1) quantify the neuromuscular changes in the aging larynx using laryngeal evoked response studies in an aging rat model (Aim 1), and 2) perform the same laryngeal evoked response studies in human subjects (Aim 2). The overall goal is to improve understanding of the underlying reasons for age-related vocal atrophy (ARVA), which impairs voice, swallowing, and communication in a substantial portion of the population. The findings from this research are expected to inform the development of more effective treatments for ARVA.
