This $2,356,117 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to improve the perioperative management of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The primary objectives are to: (1) identify the extent to which surgical patients with these conditions are at increased risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, and (2) estimate the association between various perioperative interventions and the incidence...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $801,268 to the University of Pittsburgh to develop effective, scalable approaches for proactively identifying and mitigating postoperative risks in vulnerable elderly surgical patients. The key objectives are to: Create reliable preoperative risk prediction tools for stratifying high-risk patients, and Implement proactive multimodal interventions, including preoperative prehabilitation and...
This Project Grant award of $387,006 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research supports research to understand how indoles derived from commensal gut bacteria can promote mobility and counteract sarcopenia (age-related muscle wasting) in aging animals. The research aims to determine the mechanisms by which indoles regulate muscle protein homeostasis, mitochondrial function, and other cellular pathways to maintain muscle mass and function during...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $3,284,161 and provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports a research project investigating the role of interleukin-6 (IL-6) trans-signaling in the development of postoperative cognitive decline in aging and Alzheimer's disease populations. The University of California, San Francisco is the primary awardee. The key objectives of this 5-year research project are to: 1) determine if vulnerability to postoperative...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $558,222 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the roles of the CircHIPK3 circular RNA and the HuR RNA-binding protein in regulating intestinal barrier function during aging. The 5-year research project (Sep 2024 - Aug 2029) aims to elucidate how CircHIPK3 and HuR modulate mitochondrial function in the aging intestinal epithelium, and how these molecular...
This Project Grant award of $2,549,716.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research by New York University School of Medicine to investigate the role of inflammation in the decline of skeletal stem and progenitor cell function during aging. The goal is to identify therapeutic targets to improve bone health and fracture repair in elderly patients. Key focus areas include: Defining the molecular mechanisms regulating the inflammatory response in skeletal...
This Project Grant award, valued at $231,000.00, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The funding supports research conducted by the Augusta University Research Institute, Inc. (doing business as Georgia Health Sciences), a non-profit research organization, to investigate the role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling in intestinal aging. The primary objectives are to characterize cGMP signaling in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program, provides $311,000.00 to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct research on the impact of bariatric surgery on Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to mechanistically define how sleeve gastrectomy, a common bariatric surgery procedure, can influence metabolic health, age-related frailty, and Alzheimer's disease pathology across sexes and mouse models. The...
This federal Project Grant award, totaling $715,801.00, was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) program. The grant will support research at Duke University 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 hypertension. The research aims to ascertain the causal role of these targets as key contributors...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), supports research to develop an innovative immune therapy targeting the TREM1-inflammation pathway to alleviate excess inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) of geriatric patients. The total funding amount is $442,222, awarded on September 25, 2024, with a project period through May 31, 2026. The research aims to demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy of administering...
