The federal Project Grant award R01AG086692 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Brandeis University. The $331,187 award will fund a 4-year study to understand the role of retrotransposon activity in aging and age-related phenotypes using the Drosophila model system. The goals of the project are to characterize a Drosophila system to determine whether transposon activity is a cause or effect of the aging process. This...
This Project Grant award of $395,796 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research at Brown University to develop genetic, pharmacological, and dietary interventions that delay the onset and progression of age-related diseases. The key objectives are to: 1) Investigate the interconnectedness and hierarchical structure of the hallmarks of aging, such as loss of genomic integrity, activation of retrotransposons, and accumulation of lipid droplets; 2)...
The federal Project Grant award R56AG080294 in the amount of $440,000.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging under their Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant supports research at the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope aimed at understanding the role of circadian clock regulation in the development of sarcopenic obesity, which is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with obesity in older adults. The research will employ transcriptomics and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $122,858 to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to conduct research on molecular profiles associated with mortality risk and longevity. The 2-year project aims to utilize plasma metabolomic and proteomic data to investigate the relationship between genes, proteins, metabolites, and all-cause mortality. Key objectives include determining genetic factors influencing a...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $649,679 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on mechanisms of aging. The project aims to evaluate how a population of mouse T cells can be iteratively boosted and passaged among young mice for over 11 years, exceeding the normal mouse lifespan, while retaining functional competence and proliferative potential. The research will investigate factors such as...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), is focused on identifying and characterizing clonal expansions that increase with age across various tissues, and understanding how these clonal mosaicism patterns are influenced by aging and age-related diseases. The $159,492 award to Weill Medical College of Cornell University aims to (1) develop tools to accurately identify somatic variants from publicly available...
The federal Project Grant award R21AG086723 for $466,125.00 was granted by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to New York University School of Medicine to characterize age-related changes in the testis stem cell niche. The key objectives are to: (1) identify genes differentially expressed in young and aged testis niche cells and those dependent on activin signaling, and (2) develop new tools to monitor activin and follistatin proteins and pathway activity in the fly...
This $101,925 Project Grant award was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate the role of the propionate metabolism pathway in the aging process. The 2-year project aims to: Continue studying the impact of methylmalonic acid (MMA), a metabolite in the propionate pathway, on cell senescence and aging-associated pulmonary fibrosis. Characterize a novel function of propionyl-CoA (P-CoA), another pathway...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, will support research at Purdue University to investigate the connection between metabolic changes, epigenetic modifications, and circadian rhythm disruptions in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $419,005 award, spanning May 2025 to April 2027, will focus on studying how changes in one-carbon metabolism and the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) impact chromatin...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $1,294,013 to Mayo Clinic to conduct a randomized clinical trial examining the impact of biological mechanisms of aging on exercise response variability in older adults. The project aims to define the heterogeneity in physical function and insulin sensitivity outcomes in response to a 6-month resistance training intervention, with a focus on investigating the...
