This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $689,170 to Adaptive Testing Technologies Inc. to develop and validate a Computerized Adaptive Test of Fatigability (CAT-F) for hospitalized older adults. The CAT-F aims to precisely measure a patient's fatigue in the context of their activity level, known as "fatigability", which is a critical limitation of current fatigue measures. The research will apply multidimensional...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to Trustees of Tufts College, doing business as Tufts University, provides $269,316 to develop a multi-modal biosensing and predictive analytics system for continuous monitoring of mobility and cognition in the aging population. The key products and services being delivered under this grant include: Developing a system of flexible, breathable, and inconspicuous wearable biosensor patches to...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $319,000 to Brown University to conduct research on cognitive aging. The key objectives are to: Identify a latent variable estimate of general cognitive performance in the Children of the Depression (CODA) cohort of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Determine the pace of normative cognitive aging in standard deviations per year, both unadjusted and adjusted for...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $300,506 and granted by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to develop high-performing, fair, and interpretable large language models (LLMs) to detect Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its precursor stages, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), from transcribed unstructured speech samples. The overarching goal is to advance healthcare through the innovative and responsible use of...
The federal Project Grant award of $2,366,213 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund the INLIFE (Individualized Lifestyle Change for Every Aging Brain) study. The study aims to harmonize participant-level data from 12 U.S. randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with 9,570 older adults to examine how changes in lifestyle health behaviors (physical activity, cognitive activity, healthy diet, social activity) impact cognitive outcomes. Key objectives include...
This $2,261,852 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) will support the development of novel statistical tools and computational models to disentangle subtle cognitive decline from learning effects. The project aims to create digital cognitive markers that can improve detection of early-stage Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and enable better risk prediction. Key...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $123,530 to Indiana University to develop a naturalistic paradigm for early detection of cognitive impairment in older adults. The key objectives are to: Identify cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between cognitive performance, perceived stress, and psychiatric symptoms in an existing sample. Develop natural language processing algorithms to...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $622,401 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Southern California (USC) Department of Contracts and Grants Division. The 5-year grant, commencing on January 1, 2025, aims to develop sophisticated AI models and causal analysis techniques to elucidate the spatial and temporal patterns of brain biomarker changes associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Specifically,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), will fund a research project on the relationship between daily life activity participation, cognitive function, emotional well-being, and brain health in older adults. The $457,445 award, effective May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2026, will support a multilevel, multi-modal study using behavioral, neuroimaging, and naturalistic data collection approaches. The...
This $1,834,298 five-year Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a study to evaluate the causal effects of K-12 and college educational experiences on cognitive health and functioning in older adults. The study will leverage a natural experiment provided by the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) funding from 1958-1964 to improve science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and foreign language education in K-12 schools and...

This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, provides $354,727 to the University of Chicago to develop a new Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) called the CAT-COG to assess cognitive function in older adults.

The key objectives are to: 1) expand the modeling approaches used to calibrate the CAT-COG item bank, 2) validate the CAT-COG against traditional neuropsychological testing, 3) evaluate short-term variability and test-retest reliability, 4) harmonize the CAT-COG with the funder's existing test battery, and 5) assess differential item functioning. This 4-year project, commencing on April 1, 2025, aims to revolutionize computer-based cognitive testing by providing precise, efficient, and minimally burdensome assessment of global cognitive ability and 5 key subdomains.
