The National Institute on Aging awarded a K23 (Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development) grant of $145,706 to the University of Miami's Office of Research Administration—School of Medicine on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). This award supports both research and structured career development training for a clinical sleep neurologist through April 30, 2031. The grant delivers a comprehensive training framework consisting of mentorship from expert advisors, structured coursework, and mentored research designed to develop the candidate into an independent clinical scientist. Training curricula specifically cover clinical and translational science, Alzheimer's disease pathology, implementation of amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration biomarkers in research settings, and deployment of sleep actigraphy and electroencephalography (EEG) technologies in Alzheimer's disease research. The research component produces two primary deliverables addressing preclinical Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. First, the award funds analysis of gray matter microstructure integrity as a marker of preclinical Alzheimer's disease using the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort, along with investigation of whether gray matter microstructure mediates the relationship between modifiable sleep patterns and disease progression. Second, the award supports a pilot study implementing portable in-home forehead EEG technology as an alternative to gold-standard laboratory polysomnography for measuring sleep physiology. These research and training products position the candidate to submit a subsequent R01 grant application for large-scale observational research using portable EEG technology in diverse adult populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
