The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a mentored career development grant (K08) totaling $141,957 to the University of Miami's Office of Research Administration – School of Medicine, effective July 1, 2026, through April 1, 2031, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). This award supports Dr. Kaur's development as an independent clinical scientist through a structured training framework encompassing mentorship, coursework, and guided research in sleep and circadian science, computational neuroscience and machine learning, Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, and leadership development. The research component examines whether multidimensional sleep health—a comprehensive metric encompassing sleep regularity, timing, sleep-disordered breathing, and satisfaction—predicts cognitive decline trajectories and plasma biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort. Dr. Kaur will additionally apply established machine learning models of brain aging to this dataset to evaluate whether multidimensional sleep health predicts accelerated brain aging in this vulnerable population, thereby acquiring practical competency in applying computational approaches to clinically relevant aging research.Federal Grant Award Summary
