Project Grant K76AG095045
- This $318,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) with a start date of September 17, 2024 and an end date of August 31, 2026. The grant will fund a study to investigate the epidemiology and clinical consequences of cardiometabolic medication substitution that occurs when older adults transition from acute hospital care to skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The research aims to determine the...
- The U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,089,329 Project Grant to Homecare Hub US Inc. under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to scale a network of small community-based care homes as a high-value alternative to institutional long-term care. The project aims to demonstrate improved health outcomes for seniors by leveraging a technology platform that facilitates personalized, cost-effective care through a decentralized network of 2-12 person residential care...
- This federal Project Grant award of $641,856 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to determine the effects of reduced nursing home capacity on older adults, their caregivers, and post-acute/long-term care access. The project, which runs from September 1, 2025 to May 31, 2030, will conduct rigorous quantitative analyses to assess the implications of nursing home capacity declines, which have accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The...
- This $2,497,615 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to evaluate the impact of new Medicare home health agency (HHA) payment policies on healthcare utilization and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project has three key objectives: 1) characterizing changes in the ADRD beneficiary population eligible for HHA services, 2) evaluating the effect of...
- This Project Grant award of $326,382 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), is for the development and testing of "SEEINME" - a consumer-generated, HIPAA-compliant digital personal health profile for persons with dementia (PWD). The goal is to foster person-centered coordinated care and reduce caregiver burden by enabling assisted living/memory care communities to partner with and empower family members, informal...
- This $680,931 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), is focused on addressing disparities in nursing home care for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) and Alzheimer's disease/related dementias (AD/ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) Understand the prevalence of SMI alone and SMI with comorbid AD/ADRD in nursing homes, and assess quality outcomes for these groups by race/ethnicity; and 2) Identify...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $705,385 to Northeastern University to conduct a large-scale study investigating mediators and moderators of executive function training in older adults. The study aims to improve the rigor and reproducibility of research on cognitive plasticity in older adults, many of whom are at risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study will collect data from 1,250 older adults aged 60+ to...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $243,000.00 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to develop and implement a prognosis communication tool for older adults receiving post-acute care in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The goal is to provide personalized prognostic information to SNF patients about the likelihood of outcomes such as hospital readmission, long-term nursing home transition, and...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,709,669 from the National Institute on Aging (Aging Research, CFDA 93.866) aims to provide rigorous evidence on the outcomes of home-based versus facility-based care for older patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research strategy will leverage differences in the influence of physical therapists on discharge destination as a "randomizing device" to compare outcomes across almost 100 VA hospitals. This novel...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $440,000 to Northeastern University to conduct a qualitative study exploring the perspectives of racially and ethnically diverse homebound patients with advanced disease on advance care planning (ACP), intensive care services, hospice services, and related topics. The study will analyze audio recordings from a previous NIH-funded trial of a video-based ACP intervention delivered in home...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $243,000.00 to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center, doing business as Hebrew Senior Life, to adapt and pilot the World Health Organization's Integrated Care for Older Persons (ICOPE) protocol for integration into post-acute skilled nursing facility (SNF) care. The key objectives are to: 1) Adapt the existing community-based ICOPE protocols to align with post-acute SNF workflows, and 2) Test the feasibility of implementing the adapted ICOPE-SNF protocol within a Massachusetts SNF, iteratively refining it based on staff feedback and fidelity to a core task checklist. If the ICOPE-SNF protocol is found to be feasible, the project will then test the feasibility of a cluster randomized trial protocol in 4 additional Massachusetts SNFs. This research aims to address negative health outcomes caused by declines in intrinsic capacity (total physical and mental capabilities) among older adults receiving post-acute SNF care.
