Weill Medical College of Cornell University received a $216,203 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2029. The award funds a Research and Mentoring Program for the Surgical Care of Older Adults designed to advance surgeon scientist training and improve perioperative outcomes for older adult surgical patients, particularly those from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. The program leverages Weill Cornell Medicine's existing research infrastructure, including its ARCH (Architecture for Research Computing in Health) databases, to identify variations in surgical care practices and patient outcomes through analysis of geriatric-specific measures such as goals of care conversations, mobilization timing, and delirium incidence. The project delivers both research and training outputs. Research activities employ quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate care optimization in frailty assessment, preoperative optimization, surgical risk stratification, quality of life, and post-surgical recovery—aligning with American College of Surgeons geriatric surgery standards. The mentoring and training component establishes a sustainable research infrastructure for developing surgeon scientists specializing in older adult surgical care. Outputs are intended to inform improvements in surgical decision-making and perioperative care for vulnerable older populations while positioning the institution for subsequent R01 funding from the National Institutes of Health.Federal Grant Award Summary
