This $334,788 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to investigate the impact of recent revisions to the Medicare home health payment system (Patient-Driven Groupings Model or PDGM) on access, care delivery, and outcomes for community-living Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The 2-year study, starting September 1, 2023, will leverage Medicare claims, home health assessment, and agency data to:...
This $778,551 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a comprehensive study by the RAND Corporation to estimate a novel probabilistic model for classifying Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) among over 10 million Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older. The project aims to determine the extent to which racial/ethnic minority groups and underserved rural populations are disproportionately affected by...
This $2,497,615 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to evaluate the impact of new Medicare home health agency (HHA) payment policies on healthcare utilization and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project has three key objectives: 1) characterizing changes in the ADRD beneficiary population eligible for HHA services, 2) evaluating the effect of...
This $1,933,556 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to assess the impact of hospital-based health information technology (hospital-HIT) on healthcare quality and equity for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary awardee, the University of Maryland, College Park, will conduct a ten-year longitudinal study to evaluate how hospital-HIT systems that promote care...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will leverage Medicare claims and clinical assessment data to investigate how changes in Medicare and Medicaid financing policies have impacted post-acute and long-term care utilization and health outcomes for persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The $608,731 award to Brown University, with a sub-award to Harvard Medical School, will conduct a 5-year research...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,112,538 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Johns Hopkins University to study health care access, quality, and outcomes among individuals with dementia enrolled in Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs). The project will use linked Medicare-Medicaid administrative data from 2021-2023 to compare the effectiveness of integrated D-SNPs versus non-integrated D-SNPs for Medicaid enrollees with Alzheimer's disease and related...
This $2,147,487 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a mixed-methods study to "UNDERSTANDING AND IMPROVING PALLIATIVE CARE DELIVERY AMONG PERSONS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS (ADRD)". The study aims to determine the impact of "concurrent care" (delivering hospice alongside usual medical care) on patient and family outcomes for ADRD patients. Key objectives include analyzing trends in concurrent care...
This $2,557,260 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a study to investigate the early transition to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among Black and White adults in their 60s. The study, led by the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will leverage the ongoing Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study to assess cognitive function, neurodegeneration, vascular health, and social determinants...
This $322,286 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a study by The Johns Hopkins University to advance health equity in the use of novel treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The study will have two phases. In the planning phase (R61), the researchers will conduct focus groups with diverse individuals affected by ADRD to understand their medication decision-making processes. They will then design discrete...
The National Institute on Aging awarded a $539,635 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the RAND Corporation to develop a family-based macro-simulation model on the supply and demand of care for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). The project aims to simulate individual and family-level economic and well-being outcomes for ADRD caregiving, and then aggregate these outcomes to assess the overall implications of family care decisions. This...

This $1,846,173 Project Grant was awarded on August 15, 2024 by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to the University of Colorado-Denver. The grant will fund a multi-year study to investigate the impact of Medicare coverage choice on healthcare utilization and intergenerational transfers among Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) patients. Key objectives include determining if ADRD patients in Medicare Advantage plans experience more potentially preventable hospitalizations, burdensome transfers, and discharges without home care compared to traditional Medicare, as well as examining disparities in access to post-discharge care and differences in time/money transfers between ADRD families based on Medicare plan enrollment. The research seeks to understand the potential for MA plan decisions to create unintended social costs by shifting care burdens to ADRD patients' families, which could exacerbate health and wealth disparities across generations.
