- This federal Project Grant award of $442,938, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the relationship between sleep, memory, and aging. The key objectives are to: 1) characterize how aging affects sleep patterns required for memory consolidation and synaptic plasticity during long-term memory formation; and 2) determine how upregulating the unfolded protein response can...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a five-year Project Grant totaling $619,099 to the University of California, Irvine, effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2031, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The research initiative investigates longitudinal relationships between Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathophysiology, local sleep expression, and sleep-dependent memory across preclinical disease stages. The project will employ an...

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded $216,025 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco on February 13, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. This five-year career development grant supports Dr. Jessica Jimenez's research investigating the neural circuit mechanisms underlying impaired memory consolidation following sleep loss within corticothalamic circuits. The research will examine how sleep loss alters sleep microarchitecture, specifically focusing on the temporal coupling between slow oscillations and delta waves generated by the medial prefrontal cortex and spindles generated by the thalamic reticular nucleus during non-rapid eye movement sleep. The project deliverables include research findings and scientific expertise development that will advance understanding of how sleep disturbances impair learning and cognitive function—conditions relevant to stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and depression. The research is designed to enable development of targeted therapies that restore critical sleep features for memory consolidation. Through mentorship from Dr. Karunesh Ganguly and structured didactic training, Dr. Jimenez will transition to independence as a physician-scientist and leader in sleep neurology, with the project completion date set for January 31, 2031.Federal Grant Award Summary
