The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $191,700 Project Grant to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support a Phase II randomized controlled trial through April 30, 2031. The award funds the Emotional Support in Intensive Care Unit (ES-ICU) intervention, which aims to enhance the frequency and quality of emotional support that ICU teams provide to families of critically ill adult patients across three intensive care units at Cedars-Sinai. The intervention addresses a significant clinical gap, as families of the estimated 5+ million Americans receiving intensive care annually—including one in three older adults in their final month of life—frequently experience psychological distress that impairs decision-making and well-being. Under this K23 Career Development Award, the project delivers two key services: (1) hospital chaplains functioning as ICU support counselors who meet families early and regularly throughout the ICU stay, and (2) standardized family perspective reports generated by chaplains and relayed to ICU clinicians with tailored coaching to enhance clinician-delivered emotional support. The trial encompasses Aim 1, which explores how family needs and clinical cultures around emotional support vary across the three ICU contexts to enable context-specific tailoring of ES-ICU, and Aim 2, which evaluates whether families receiving ES-ICU report that ICU teams better meet their emotional support needs compared to standard care.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
