Duke University received a $1,019,484.58 Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) for the period September 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022. The award will support research using the nematode C. elegans as a model organism to study aging-associated neurodegeneration at the molecular level, with the goals of uncovering novel mechanisms underlying this process and establishing C. elegans neurons as a...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $138,000 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) to support research titled "A Novel Model System for Studying the Evolution and Genomics of Longevity" from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023. The two-year award will fund the development of a new model organism to advance understanding of longevity through the study of evolution and genomics. The Biological Sciences program aims to promote progress in the...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,102,269 to the University of Illinois to conduct research aimed at understanding the relationship between precocious neuronal differentiation and early-onset neurodegeneration. The project will utilize the C. elegans model system to investigate how heterochronic gene mutations, such as lin-41 and lin-14, that cause precocious neuronal differentiation can subsequently lead to early-onset...
This $1,044,855 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, will fund Nemalife Inc. to deliver high-throughput testing of anti-aging and FDA-approved drugs in genetically diverse invertebrate Alzheimer's disease models. Under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), the awardee will screen 300 anti-aging compounds and 200 FDA drugs to identify candidates that improve neuronal aging and protect against protein misfolding diseases...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $649,679 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota to conduct research on mechanisms of aging. The project aims to evaluate how a population of mouse T cells can be iteratively boosted and passaged among young mice for over 11 years, exceeding the normal mouse lifespan, while retaining functional competence and proliferative potential. The research will investigate factors such as...
The Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY), acting as the fiscal administrator for the City University of New York (CUNY), has received a $458,510 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). This award will support the development of a transformative deep learning framework to integrate multi-omics data and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying exceptional longevity (EL). The key objectives are to: 1)...
The federal Project Grant award R01AG086692 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Brandeis University. The $331,187 award will fund a 4-year study to understand the role of retrotransposon activity in aging and age-related phenotypes using the Drosophila model system. The goals of the project are to characterize a Drosophila system to determine whether transposon activity is a cause or effect of the aging process. This...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $506,404 project grant to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct research on the role of chromatin and epigenetic mechanisms in regulating senescence and aging. The 5-year project (1/1/2025 - 12/31/2029) will investigate: 1) how enhancer rewiring and the formation of large enhancer communities drive gene expression changes during senescence; 2) the mechanisms behind...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,055,313 Project Grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program to the University of Miami. The grant will fund research to investigate how the glial ion channel CLH-1 controls organismal aging in the model organism C. elegans. The key objectives are to establish the function of glial CLH-1 that influences aging and identify the tissues and pathways regulated by glial CLH-1 in the aging process. This exploratory research is...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $416,625.00 to Saint Louis University to conduct research on "Targeted Modulation of Longevity-Associated Genes Using Antisense Oligonucleotides." The project aims to: 1) design and test antisense oligonucleotides to modulate the levels of four longevity-associated genes, and 2) test if the antisense oligonucleotides can extend lifespan and improve healthspan using a mouse...
