The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Brown University a $608,731 project grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to conduct research on the impact of Medicare and Medicaid financing policies on post-acute and long-term care for persons living with dementia. The 5-year project, running from September 2024 to May 2029, will leverage Medicare claims and clinical assessment data to advance understanding of how changes in healthcare financing affect service utilization and health outcomes for the 6.7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). A key sub-award to Harvard Medical School will support dataset creation and analysis for the project. The overall research aims to inform future policy efforts to enhance and coordinate funding and delivery of post-acute and long-term care services for the ADRD population in order to improve outcomes and promote equity.
