The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a 5-year, $753,600 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) to conduct a mixed-methods study on "Understanding and Improving Palliative Care Delivery Among Persons with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD)." The study aims to determine the impact of concurrent hospice care delivery on patient and family outcomes, identify modifiable factors associated with increased use of concurrent care, and qualitatively explore family and clinician experiences with end-of-life care for ADRD patients. The project involves collaborations with researchers at Brown University and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, who are receiving sub-awards of $24,786 and $24,786 respectively to contribute to the study's objectives.
