This Project Grant award of $660,908 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866, Aging Research) to Brandeis University. The project aims to expand on previous research demonstrating that certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) can regulate lifespan and health span. Specifically, the research will: 1) determine the mechanisms behind circRNAs that promote aging, 2) examine the extent and requirements for circRNA translation and its relationship to aging, and 3) define the...
This National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) Project Grant award of $412,500 to the Trustees of Boston University (Boston University Medical Campus) will fund research to investigate the "vicious cycle" between disruption of chromatin architecture, activation of retrotransposable elements (RTEs), and misexpression of CpG island-deficient genes during the aging process. The research aims to validate the mutual activation between chromatin architecture disruption and RTE...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will support research by Tufts University School of Medicine to develop metabolomics clocks as a tool to explore the mechanisms of aging. The total funding amount is $592,507 and the award period runs from Sep 30, 2024 to Jun 30, 2029. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) develop sex- and tissue-specific metabolome clocks in the Drosophila model system that can...
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)...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), provides $190,278 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the role of transposable elements in septic immune aging. The key objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) study the dynamics of transposable element de-repression as a function of age and sepsis, 2) employ machine learning to...
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 Project Grant award of $506,404.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate mechanisms of local and global epigenetic changes that drive senescence and aging-associated phenotypes. Key research objectives include: Examining how enhancers are rewired during senescence and aging, focusing on large enhancer communities or "cliques" and identifying transcription factors that drive their formation....
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a 5-year Project Grant totaling $572,333 to the University of Alabama to investigate the mechanisms underlying aged host-virus interactions. The research aims to: Determine how modulation of the host's metabolism in older individuals aids in survival of viral infection, and 2) Examine how the aged organism's physiological environment impacts the evolution of RNA virus pathogenicity. The...
This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research at the University of Washington to investigate genomic alterations in skeletal muscle associated with aging. The key objectives are to: Explore if alternative splicing of mRNA results in quantitative differential isoform changes associated with aging, potentially leading to increased expression of non-functional proteins relevant for healthy muscle function. The researchers...
