This $2,348,734 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY supports a comprehensive investigation into gait and cognitive decline as early markers of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
The research team will employ innovative neuroimaging, neurophysiology, and biological approaches to discover protective brain mechanisms in "super-movers" - older adults with exceptional gait...
This $431,132 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), supports research to explore the implications of loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) in the aging process. The project aims to gain an integrated understanding of LOY, including investigating rare genetic variants that contribute to LOY, quantifying LOY mosaicism, and decoding the relationship between LOY and aging. The award was made to the Albert Einstein College...
This $434,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to investigate the role of dopamine neurons in the lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) and their effects on familiarity bias and memory interference in aging. Specifically, the research aims to: 1) measure dopamine transients in the LEC during the transition from novelty to familiarity, and 2) determine if reactivation of neuronal representations of familiar stimuli in the LEC...
This $1,085,789.00 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate the prevalence, mutational spectrum, and evolution of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in populations with exceptional longevity. The study aims to determine the relationship between CH and age-related diseases, as well as identify biological pathways that modify CH risk and disease associations. Over the...
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,497,596 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Lieber Institute for Brain Development (LIBD) on May 1, 2024. The project will utilize spatial transcriptomics and proteogenomics techniques to generate detailed molecular maps of the human locus coeruleus (LC) region, investigating how the accumulation of neuromelanin and phosphorylated tau during aging and Alzheimer's disease impacts local gene...
This Project Grant award, totaling $442,357, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The award is focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms that give rise to functionally neurodegenerative microglia - the brain's primary innate immune cells - in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key objectives are to: 1) determine the mechanisms of integrated stress response (ISR)-induced chromatin remodeling in microglia, 2) test...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $842,114 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to systematically investigate the molecular mechanisms of brain senescence in different molecular subtypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project aims to identify and characterize senescent cells in major AD subtypes using advanced single-cell multi-omics and spatial transcriptomics techniques. The...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), has awarded a $2,464,694 Project Grant to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to conduct a study on "Cognitive Decline and Dementia in Older Kerala Americans." This first-of-its-kind study aims to clinically and biologically phenotype 400 first-generation older immigrants from Kerala, India, residing in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut), to better...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $205,030 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Miami to investigate the associations between neighborhood environments across the life course and Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) outcomes among Hispanic older adults born in and outside the U.S. The study aims to: 1) characterize life course neighborhood social and built environments, 2) determine how these exposures are associated with...
The Albert Einstein College of Medicine was awarded a $113,670 Project Grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living on April 1, 2022, with a completion date of September 30, 2024. The grant was awarded under the University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Education, Research, and Service program (CFDA 93.632) to support interdisciplinary training for personnel assisting those with developmental disabilities, as well as...
