Project Grant R01AG088032
- This federal Project Grant award of $632,382 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research program) supports a 5-year randomized controlled trial to examine the effects of a 6-month Tai Chi intervention on chronic pain, cognition, cognitive-motor function, fear of falling, and rate of falls in 266 older adults with multisite pain and fall risk. The trial will measure pain severity, pain interference, fear of falling, pain-related biomarkers, cognition, gait function,...
- This $442,590 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a randomized controlled trial examining the effects of low-volume sprint interval training on cardiorespiratory fitness. The project, led by California State University San Marcos Corp, aims to provide evidence on the potential for this time-efficient exercise approach to improve fitness and address the significant public health issue of physical inactivity. The grant period runs...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $245,434 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on preserving muscle and bone health in older adults undergoing weight loss interventions. The 2.5-year project aims to develop automated analysis techniques to measure changes in muscle quantity and quality, as well as bone strength, using computed tomography (CT) scans collected as part of an ongoing clinical trial....
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $474,092 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to One Health Studio LLC in San Francisco, CA. The grant supports the development and evaluation of the "FLOURISH ALL" platform, an AI-enabled digital health solution aimed at reducing Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) risk in midlife women through stress management and promotion of...
- This Project Grant award of $673,012 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to understand the neuromechanical bases for the increased energy cost of walking in aging. The University of Massachusetts is the primary awardee, with the goal of determining how age-related changes in gait strategy combine with muscle weaknesses to increase the energy cost of walking in older adults. The research will address key knowledge gaps regarding relative...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to identify multi-scale mechanisms contributing to age-related increases in the metabolic cost of walking and decreases in walking speed. The $3,224,215 award to Georgia Tech Research Corp, to be completed by July 31, 2029, will leverage a multi-scale, computational-experimental approach to probe the cellular-to-behavioral mechanisms linking the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $203,278.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will fund research to understand the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying age-related shifts in motivation and their impact on daily life activity participation in older adults. The research will employ a multilevel, multimodal approach, utilizing behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic assessment methods to...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
- This Project Grant award of $110,726.00 from the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) aims to utilize data from the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) to characterize the molecular aging of white adipose tissue and the potential impact of endurance exercise training, with a focus on sex-specific differences. The research project led by the Pacific Northwest National...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $333,125 Project Grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program to George Washington University. The grant, which runs from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will fund the development and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms to predict body composition and physical function in older adults using low-cost 3D optical body scanning technology. The research aims to provide accessible and scalable methods to assess...
This federal Project Grant award of $659,376 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to improve cardiometabolic health in mobility-impaired women through a meditative movement intervention. The project will implement and evaluate the effects of Tai Chi and Qigong, forms of low-intensity physical activity that can be done in a seated position, on reducing abdominal fat, stress, and associated factors like emotional eating and sleep quality in this population. The 5-year project, awarded to Arizona State University, leverages the team's expertise in the proposed intervention and measures to engage with mobility-impaired women, a group at high risk for cardiometabolic disease but typically ineligible for more vigorous physical activity programs. The project's goals are to enhance healthy aging and reduce cardiometabolic disease risk in this underserved population.
