This Project Grant award of $2,947,959.00 from the National Institute on Aging (part of the Department of Health and Human Services) under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program supports a comprehensive scientific investigation into the impact of cardiovascular health on longevity, the brain, and diseases of aging in humans and great apes. The key products/services to be delivered include: Evaluating the effect of aging, cardiovascular disease, and neurovascular health on the...
This Project Grant award, totaling $418,364.00, was issued by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct a comprehensive study on lifespan and biological aging across multiple nonhuman primate (NHP) species. The key objectives are: Generate the most accurate sex-specific lifespan and age-at-death distributions for 11 biomedically-relevant NHP species, and test the influence of factors like body size, age at reproductive...
This $670,324 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) will support a research project titled "Social Modifiers of Primate Lifespan" at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The objectives of this 5-year project are to: 1) Leverage the researchers' Bayesian life-history model, primate social network database, and epigenetic aging clock to estimate lifespans across over 70 primate species; 2)...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $184,647 supports research on understanding variation in patterns of aging in primates through an integrative comparative approach. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award to Arizona State University will analyze biological aging trajectories and individual differences across the lifespan using a longitudinal dataset of over 100 wild-living non-human primates. Key products include...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $687,288 will fund a comparative analysis of somatic mutational processes across primate species with diverse lifespans. The primary awardee, the University of California, Berkeley, will collaborate with researchers at the University of Cambridge and Wellcome Sanger Institute to: Generate a comprehensive atlas of somatic mutation rates, signatures, and clonal dynamics across 10 tissue...
This Project Grant award for $866,764 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) supports an interdisciplinary research study at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate human-specific vulnerabilities and compensatory adaptations of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in response to age-related stressors. The project aims to leverage stem cell-derived organoids, primary tissue samples, machine learning, and CRISPR techniques to directly measure...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $971,117 to establish a Coordinating Center for Primate Aging Research (CCPAR) jointly led by the Tulane National Primate Research Center, California National Primate Research Center, and Baylor College of Medicine. The CCPAR will coordinate the work of a broad array of specialists across gerosciences to facilitate integration of data from R01 grants across sites, endpoints, measurement...
The National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering awarded a $146,000 Project Grant to Brooklyn, NY from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023. The grant funds a study titled "Effects of Early Life Adversity on the Pace of Aging in Rhesus Macaques." Under the grant, the grantee will examine how early life stress impacts the rate of aging in rhesus macaques. The research aims to advance understanding of accelerated aging processes using the NSF's Office of...
This federal Project Grant award of $109,595 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports a comprehensive microscopic study of a novel monkey model for Alzheimer's disease. The research aims to characterize the regional and laminar patterns of tau-based neuropathology, neuronal loss, synaptic health, and neuronal functionality within the entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, and neocortical regions. The findings will be correlated with behavioral data...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $2,393,539.00 to The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the relationships between immunosenescence, brain aging biomarkers, and cognition across nonhuman primate species with differing lifespans. The 5-year research project, running from September 15, 2024 to May 31, 2029, aims to examine how the immune system's age-related dysregulation impacts longevity,...
