- This $2,307,536 federal Project Grant, awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), will leverage a natural experiment to examine the effects of integrated palliative care on health service outcomes and disparities in Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementia. The primary awardee, The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, will: Examine patterns of palliative domain care and disparities across U.S. Parkinson's specialty centers; and Test the effects of a...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to study the impact of hospice care on the well-being of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and their family members. The $318,416 project will leverage natural experiments from the opening of new hospice facilities to estimate the effects of hospice utilization on patient outcomes such as pain management, depression, and activities of daily living. It will...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $440,000 to Northeastern University to conduct a qualitative study exploring the perspectives of racially and ethnically diverse homebound patients with advanced disease on advance care planning (ACP), intensive care services, hospice services, and related topics. The study will analyze audio recordings from a previous NIH-funded trial of a video-based ACP intervention delivered in home...
- This federal Project Grant award titled "MISSED HOME HEALTH CARE IN OLDER ADULTS WITH DEMENTIA: IDENTIFYING DRIVERS, OUTCOMES, AND COSTS" is provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The $627,916 award will fund a 5-year research project at Kaiser Foundation Hospitals in Aurora, CO to identify key drivers and mitigators of missed home health care, examine the relationship between missed care and clinical outcomes/costs for older...
- This federal Project Grant award of $641,856 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to determine the effects of reduced nursing home capacity on older adults, their caregivers, and post-acute/long-term care access. The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, will conduct rigorous quantitative analyses to assess the implications of nursing home capacity declines, which have accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,709,669 from the National Institute on Aging (Aging Research, CFDA 93.866) aims to provide rigorous evidence on the outcomes of home-based versus facility-based care for older patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research strategy will leverage differences in the influence of physical therapists on discharge destination as a "randomizing device" to compare outcomes across almost 100 VA hospitals. This novel...
- This Project Grant award of $2,278,636.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research to characterize and evaluate different nursing home clinician care models for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to understand the characteristics and outcomes of existing clinician care models, with a focus on the degree of co-management between nurse practitioners and physicians. The research will survey a nationally...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) Federal Grant Program, awarded a $199,375 project grant to Brown University. The project aims to examine whether hospices specializing in long-term care (LTC) settings provide better care to beneficiaries with Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD) compared to non-LTC hospices. Key objectives include: 1) describing individual, facility, and neighborhood-level characteristics associated with receiving care from LTC...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to advance geriatric palliative care by assessing the feasibility and acceptability of using radio frequency (RF) sensors to capture cardiopulmonary measures in nursing home patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The $451,721 award to Weill Medical College of Cornell University will also develop a machine learning algorithm to autonomously detect and predict respiratory...
- This federal Project Grant award of $390,000 from the National Institute on Aging (part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) aims to determine how serious illness communication differs between patients with chronic lung disease who have comorbid cognitive impairment without dementia compared to those with normal cognition. The research will involve two specific aims: 1) comparing self-report of serious illness conversations,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop an efficient, innovative, and resident-centered method to identify nursing home residents with unmet palliative care needs, with a focus on those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The key objectives of the $145,043 grant, awarded on September 3, 2025, are to: (1) evaluate the content and face validity and iteratively refine a palliative care screening tool; (2) develop implementation strategies and training materials for deploying the screening tool in nursing homes; and (3) pilot test the screening tool and training in real-world settings and evaluate its psychometric properties. The project will involve a Delphi study with an expert panel, cognitive interviews with nursing home staff, and co-design workshops to achieve these goals by the expected completion date of May 31, 2030. The award recipient is the University of Colorado-Denver, which will serve as the primary institution conducting the research.
