The federal Project Grant award R01AG082056 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The $1,199,134 grant, awarded on June 1, 2024, supports a collaborative study on the social epigenetics of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in Latin American countries. The project aims to expand dementia research in Latin America by leveraging an existing multi-partner REDLAT cohort study to identify shared and distinct epigenetic biomarkers associated with Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. The research team, led by the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, will collect and analyze epigenetic data from 2,000 Latino participants to investigate the interactions between social determinants of health and epigenetic changes related to dementia presentation. This research will inform regionally-tailored strategies to address dementia disparities in Latin American populations. The project involves several sub-awards to international partners, including the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Argentina, Universidad Adolfo Ibanez in Chile, and Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia, to coordinate data collection, genomic and epigenetic analyses, and clinical assessments across the Latin American study sites.
