This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $1,545,208 to the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) to conduct research on understanding the factors that contribute to variability in exercise response among older adults. The key objectives are to: 1) interrogate the role of aging hallmarks such as proteostasis, mitochondrial function, inflammation, and circadian rhythms in determining individual exercise responsiveness, and 2) test strategies to mitigate non-response through targeted exercise dose adjustments and lifestyle recommendations. The research will utilize a two-phase sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design, with clinical and biological assessments to develop integrated predictive models of exercise response heterogeneity. The award period runs from September 2024 through August 2029.
