The 2-year project, running from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026, will test the...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $333,125 Project Grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program to George Washington University. The grant, which runs from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will fund the development and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms to predict body composition and physical function in older adults using low-cost 3D optical body scanning technology. The research aims to provide accessible and scalable methods to assess...
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $801,268 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The objective of this 5-year award, with a start date of June 1, 2025, is to develop an effective evidence-based approach to providing value-based perioperative care in high-risk elderly surgical patients. The project aims to improve prediction and prevention of postoperative mortality, delirium, cognitive decline, and other...
- 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...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $819,713 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Chicago on March 15, 2025. The grant will fund the "COMMUNITYRX-DEMENTIA + PEER NAVIGATION (CRXDPEER)" project, a real-world implementation and effectiveness study of an IT-based social care intervention for dementia caregivers. The project aims to deploy an evidence-based community resource navigation program delivered by trained peer...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
This federal Project Grant award, titled "BEFITME II: Applying User-Centered Co-Design and Implementation Science to Enhance Prehabilitation for Frail Older Adults Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery", is funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $243,000. The award, with an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2030, aims to develop and evaluate a wearable technology-based prehabilitation application that provides and tracks self-guided, at-home exercises for frail older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery. The project will apply user-centered co-design and implementation science principles to enhance the uptake, adherence, and performance of the prehabilitation program, which is intended to improve perioperative outcomes for this vulnerable population. The grant is awarded to the University of Chicago, a leading research institution with extensive experience in conducting federally-funded research across diverse scientific domains.
