This Project Grant award, with Federal Grant ID R01AG087216, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The $1,496,772 award will fund a study to investigate the effect of cognitive empathy training on mental health, inflammation, and immune function in caregivers of people living with dementia (PLWD). The project aims to establish the effectiveness of cognitive empathy training in improving caregiver mental health and immune function, and decreasing caregiver inflammation. Caregivers will be randomized to cognitive empathy training or a control condition, with assessments before, immediately after, and 6 months post-training. The project will also investigate the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms by which the training improves caregiver well-being, inflammation, and immune function. A sub-award of $89,729 was provided to Northwestern University to support this research. The project will run from the award date of Sep 15, 2024 through the ultimate completion date of Aug 31, 2029.
