This Project Grant award of $674,227, provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, will fund a study to evaluate the impact of the 340B Drug Pricing Program on Medicare Part D medication utilization, health outcomes, and disparities. The primary objectives are to: 1) Assess the impact of 340B program growth on Medicare Part D medication volumes and characteristics, overall and among disadvantaged subgroups; 2) Evaluate the impact of 340B eligibility on...
This $322,286 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to advance health equity in the use of novel treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary objectives are to: Conduct focus groups with diverse individuals affected by ADRD to understand their medication decision-making processes. Design and administer discrete choice experiments to learn how different treatment attributes are...
This Project Grant award of $1,899,444 from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will fund a research project titled "Modeling Adolescent Health Care Decision-Making for Vaccines: A Community-Based Participatory Approach." The project aims to develop a comprehensive legal dataset of state and local vaccine consent (VC) laws for minors,...
This federal Project Grant award for $729,567, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), will fund a study to investigate the causal impacts of two key childhood environmental conditions - school quality and infectious disease exposure - on adult health and mortality outcomes. The study aims to construct a novel dataset linking individual-level childhood environment factors to longevity, in order to examine how these modifiable conditions affect schooling,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) in the amount of $297,000.00 will support a mixed methods study to understand the challenges and benefits of delivering new Alzheimer's disease (AD) drugs equitably to African American and white patients in Alabama. The objective is to assess access to care barriers, perceived value, and costs and benefits of new AD drugs for these two populations. In the initial R61 planning phase, the University of...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $163,979 to the Trustees of Dartmouth College to evaluate the long-term health impacts of housing instability and racial/ethnic disparities among Black, Latino, and white households. The study will leverage longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to: 1) estimate the effects of housing instability on late-life health outcomes, 2) determine if racial/ethnic disparities in...
This $677,777 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a study examining the impact of HIV status, age, and chronic immune activation on responses to the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) among older adults living with and without HIV. The study will measure acute (30-day) and long-term (2-year) immune responses following PCV20 vaccination across four participant groups: 1) older adults living with HIV, 2) older HIV-uninfected...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $1,550,751 will support an investigation of the influences of historical, enduring, and contemporary structural racism on racial disparities in cognitive aging, functional decline, and frailty trajectories. The research will leverage data from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) epidemiological cohort study and will involve up to 800 participants tracked...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $793,275 aims to study the tradeoffs between the equal and equitable distribution of scarce health resources, such as vaccines, during times of scarcity. The research team at the University of Michigan, with a sub-award to Stanford University, will leverage a large randomized natural experiment to analyze inequities in vaccine uptake across dimensions of health, social vulnerability, and race, even when early access is randomized. They will quantify the extent to which various mechanisms like health behaviors, conditions, and social factors explain persistent inequities. Additionally, they will characterize how the composition of the vaccinated population changes as vaccination rates expand, and relate those changes to inequities in downstream health and economic outcomes. The goal is to inform evidence-based policies to address health disparities and improve public health when resources are scarce.
