(doing business as Georgia Health Sciences), a non-profit research organization, to investigate the role of the CD73 enzyme in controlling inflammation and bone loss associated with...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a Project Grant totaling $2,283,522 to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health on September 17, 2024 under the NIA's Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866). This 3-year project aims to evaluate the impact of a new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) policy, the "80% Rule," on enrollment changes of Medicare-Medicaid dual eligible beneficiaries from non-integrated "look-alike" plans into integrated care...
- This Project Grant award for $307,000 was provided by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121). The grant will support research to investigate the expression of cellular senescence markers in gingival (gum) tissue samples from young/middle-aged individuals with and without type 2 diabetes and periodontal disease. The research aims to compare senescence markers in healthy and diseased gum tissues...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $242,196.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. The grant will support a project led by Dr. Lisa Simon, an internal medicine physician and general dentist, to evaluate the impact of a new Medicare dental benefit on the health outcomes of older adults. Specifically, the project aims to: 1) Determine changes in dental visit rates and tooth loss among Medicare beneficiaries eligible for the new dental coverage; 2) Assess treatment effect differences by race/ethnicity, geography, and dental care availability; and 3) Identify barriers and facilitators for dentist enrollment in Medicare. The research will leverage advanced analytical methods and qualitative analysis to generate insights that can inform policy decisions around expanding dental coverage for the Medicare population. The grant period runs from September 10, 2025 through June 30, 2030.
