The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $243,000 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to Mayo Clinic to conduct research on assessing the needs and advancing dignity-conserving care for hospitalized, incarcerated older adults. The 5-year grant project will leverage a unique dataset to define trends in factors like age, delirium, and advance directive completion for this population. It will also use qualitative methods to characterize the...
This $12,868,304 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a 5-year study by Northwestern University to investigate the impact of incarceration on health, age-related conditions, and risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among a longitudinal cohort of middle-aged adults. The study aims to: 1) assess health, age-related conditions, and ADRD risk factors among participants, 2) examine the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $161,500.00 to investigate the role of perineuronal nets (PNN) in the development of postoperative delirium in aged mice. The research aims to test the hypothesis that changes in PNN and parvalbumin-positive neurons coincide with delirium-like cognitive impairment in aged mice subjected to anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care unit (ICU)-like conditions. The project will also examine whether...
This $162,745 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will support research to improve identification of delirium. Specifically, the grantee will determine the four most commonly used and well-validated delirium identification instruments. They will then harmonize these instruments to generate an item bank and identify optimal cut-points to determine whether a patient has delirium. This work aims to create a unified approach to delirium identification...
This federal Project Grant award of $430,850 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support the "Mitigating Delirium with Fluvoxamine Treatment for Non-Cardiac Surgery (MD FLUNCS): Feasibility Trials & Mechanistic Insights" research project. The primary goal is to establish the biological plausibility and infrastructure for a future multi-site clinical trial evaluating the use of the antidepressant fluvoxamine to mitigate the risk and...
This federal Project Grant award of $416,238, awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) on March 15, 2025, supports a research study titled "PROJECT GLORY: GOOD LIFE IN MEMORY CARE". The study aims to contribute to the understanding of best practices for delivering quality care and improving quality of life for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The research involves three key components: 1) collecting firsthand...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $680,931 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct a comprehensive analysis of serious mental illness (SMI), Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), and healthcare disparities in nursing homes. The key objectives are to: 1) assess the prevalence of SMI, AD/ADRD, and the comorbidity of these conditions in nursing homes over time and by race/ethnicity, 2)...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under its Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $380,380 Project Grant to The Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, doing business as Tulane University, to investigate factors and disparities associated with successful reentry among older adults leaving prison. The project will elicit narratives about health, social, and community factors that impede or facilitate reentry among older adults with health limitations, and adapt...
This $243,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will provide 5 years of funding and research support to Dr. Sara Lahue, a fellowship-trained inpatient neurologist, to study the relationship between delirium and biological aging in older adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The overarching goals are to: Identify whether biological age metrics are associated with post-traumatic delirium risk in this population. Determine if post-traumatic...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $715,801, was provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant supports research by Duke University to investigate the impact of hypertension and aging on postoperative delirium. The project aims to elucidate the contributions of endothelial cells and perivascular macrophages to surgery-induced neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier disruption, and delirium-like behavior in aging and...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $174,528 to the University of Wisconsin System to establish foundational data on the epidemiology of delirium, the delivery of evidence-based delirium prevention measures, and potential barriers and facilitators to delivering those measures among the rapidly aging incarcerated population. The project aims to improve hospital care for older incarcerated adults by strengthening the grantee's expertise in geriatrics, delirium, research design, and behavioral intervention science. The work will include qualitative interviews, a prospective observational trial, and a pilot study to develop a multidisciplinary team approach to delirium prevention in this high-risk population. The ultimate goal is to design, test, and implement an incarceration-specific approach to evidence-based delirium measures that will reduce the risk of delirium in older incarcerated adults.
