The federal Project Grant award R01AG086692 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Brandeis University. The $331,187 award will fund a 4-year study to understand the role of retrotransposon activity in aging and age-related phenotypes using the Drosophila model system. The goals of the project are to characterize a Drosophila system to determine whether transposon activity is a cause or effect of the aging process. This...

The overarching goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying senescent macrophage biology,...
This federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $422,419, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from December 15, 2024 to November 30, 2026. The award aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular rejuvenation through partial reprogramming using the OSKM transcription factors. Key objectives include mapping changes in the transcriptome, chromatin landscape, transcription factor binding,...
This $1,737,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) supports the development of innovative single-cell genomics technologies for joint analysis of regulatory dynamics and transcriptional states. Key objectives include: Developing multiomics tools to measure rates of epigenomic changes (DNA methylation, demethylation, oxidative damage, DNA repair) and relate these to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $449,625 to Trustees of Boston University to explore the role of circular RNAs in aging-related sepsis and organ damage. The research aims to determine the function and mechanisms of an aging-induced circular RNA, circ20033, in promoting pro-inflammatory activation of macrophages and lung inflammation after bacterial infections, particularly in older adults. The two-year project will...
This federal Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $336,070.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859). The award, effective September 1, 2024, supports research conducted by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, to define and manipulate the gene regulatory networks that dictate the transition through senescence states. The research program aims to generate...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $408,600.00 to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University School of Medicine, to conduct research on the role of cytosolic DNA sensing in regulating tissue-resident macrophage function and organismal longevity. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Ascertain the role of endogenous retroelements in shaping tissue-resident macrophage survival and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $651,793 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct research on translation fidelity in hematopoietic stem cell aging and longevity. The goal is to determine if young adult hematopoietic stem cells have elevated translation fidelity compared to older stem cells, and if enhancing translation fidelity can improve stem cell fitness and extend healthspan and lifespan. The...
