This $2,087,640 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a comprehensive study to investigate the relationship between sleep disturbances and age-related cognitive decline, including risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), across the life course. The research will leverage data from six longitudinal cohorts, including two with significant Black and Mexican American representation, to create a diverse study population...
This $191,700 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a research study titled "Sleep Health and Cognitive Function Among Middle-Aged Adults: The SleepCog Study" led by Dr. Minjee Kim at Northwestern University. The study aims to: 1) investigate associations between sleep disturbance, cognitive function, self-care capacity, and health status among middle-aged adults; 2) develop sleep disturbance prediction models using...
This federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to Northwestern University. The 5-year, $684,924 award will support a research project investigating the relationship between noradrenergic dysregulation, sleep quality, and cognitive function in older adults with insomnia. The project aims to systematically characterize central and peripheral measures of the noradrenergic system and evaluate their association...
The Washington University Office of Sponsored Research Services Division was awarded a $311,000 Project Grant under the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to determine temporal links between changes in circadian rhythms, systemic inflammation, and delirium severity in older adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The research aims to establish the clinical relevance of molecular circadian rhythm disruptions during the perioperative period and shift delirium...
This $780,466 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research to develop digital biomarkers for detecting pathological brain aging and early stages of neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to leverage single-channel sleep electroencephalography (EEG) recorded from wearable headband devices to build machine learning models that can quantify the integrity of sleep-dependent memory processing...
This $162,745 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will support research to improve identification of delirium. Specifically, the grantee will determine the four most commonly used and well-validated delirium identification instruments. They will then harmonize these instruments to generate an item bank and identify optimal cut-points to determine whether a patient has delirium. This work aims to create a unified approach to delirium identification...
This federal Project Grant award, titled "Untangling the Bidirectional Relationship Between the Spread of Pathological Protein Aggregates, Sleep, and Circadian Clock Disruption in Neurodegenerative Disease," is funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) for $762,733. The primary goal is to investigate the mechanisms by which disrupted sleep and circadian timing contribute to the formation and spread of pathogenic tau and alpha-synuclein proteins in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,498,158.00 to Synaptic Health LLC to develop a novel closed-loop feedback neuromodulation system to improve slow wave sleep in Alzheimer's disease patients. The goal is to create a prototype device that can sense sleep architecture and provide peripheral neuromodulation stimulation to individuals over 65, who are at elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease. Successful completion of this Phase I...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. a $2,576,936 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to characterize the variability in sleep spindle activity across a population and evaluate the use of sleep spindle dynamics as biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and trisomy 21. The 3-year project will develop statistical models and methods to analyze sleep spindle patterns and their relationship...
The federal Project Grant award of $1,120,000.00, awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), supports Northwestern University's research to micromanage human sleep physiology to treat sleep apnea and other disorders. The award, which runs from September 10, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund Northwestern's comprehensive research across multiple scientific and technological domains, leveraging the...
