This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $769,710 will support research to examine the impact of upward socioeconomic mobility during adolescence on cognitive health and Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors in young adulthood. The project will leverage an existing cohort from the Reducing Inequities through Social and Educational Change Follow-up (RISE-UP) study to compare young adults who had the opportunity for greater...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $795,730 to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to examine the relationship between "grit" (perseverance and passion for long-term goals) and cognitive resilience in aging. The research aims to determine if modulating the functional connectivity of the anterior mid-cingulate cortex, a brain region associated with motivation, can enhance grit and improve...
This $2,366,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund the INLIFE (Individualized Lifestyle Change for Every Aging Brain) study. The study aims to harmonize and analyze participant-level data from 12 U.S. randomized controlled trials to examine how changes in lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, cognitive activity, diet, and social engagement impact cognitive outcomes across diverse older adult populations....
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $203,278 to Brandeis University from November 2024 to January 2026 to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The project will use a multilevel, multimodal framework including behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic approaches to understand...
This $562,314 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports a 3-year study to identify risk and protective factors associated with psychosocial resilience in spousal caregivers for spouses with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study leverages data from several large, longitudinal cohort studies, including the Health and Retirement Study, to examine how caregivers' well-being, mental health, and cognitive...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $441,612 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Trustees of Boston University's Boston University Medical Campus. The project, titled "LIFE'S ESSENTIAL 8, DIGITAL COGNITIVE MARKERS, AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE RISK", aims to leverage digital cognitive assessment tools such as digital pen, voice recordings, and smartphone/wearable measures to monitor early cognitive decline in relation to modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's...
This $123,530 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Trustees of Indiana University supports a research project titled "Developing a Naturalistic Paradigm for Early Detection of Cognitive Impairment." The overarching goal is to create a framework for early detection of cognitive decline in older adults using a multimodal approach. Key objectives include: Identifying cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $2,300,176 to Florida State University (FSU) to investigate how the personality trait of interpersonal conscientiousness supports cognitive health and lowers the risk of dementia. The research aims to identify the clinical, behavioral, psychological, and relational mechanisms by which interpersonal conscientiousness protects cognition, both in laboratory assessments and in...
This $825,135 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research at the Massachusetts General Hospital to investigate the relationships between gut microbiome-related metabolites, cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease biomarkers, and cognitive impairment. The research will leverage data from the REGARDS and CARDIA longitudinal cohort studies to examine associations between gut microbiome metabolites, brain imaging markers, and the...
This $4,444,978 federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research program), supports research to characterize cognitive reserve and identify modifiable factors that promote cognitive reserve and resilience to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among older adults in India, with a focus on those who lack formal education. The project aims to: 1) compare brain pathology measures and their contributions to cognition between older...
