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) aims to develop new statistical methods and data collection tools to estimate adult mortality rates in low- and middle-income countries using surveys with moderate sample sizes. The $412,656 award, with a period of performance from Sep 2024 to Aug 2026, will be used by the prime awardee, the University of California, Berkeley, to achieve two key objectives: Develop and test new statistical methods to...
This $346,458 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Toronto will support a multidimensional and longitudinal study on immigrant integration and its impact on the physical and cognitive health of older immigrant adults in the U.S. and Canada. The key aims are to: 1) investigate how social, economic, and residential dimensions of integration affect trajectories of physical functioning and cognitive impairment among...
This $839,262 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a multilevel investigation into the effects of migration on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among Mexican Americans. Conducted by the Trustees of Columbia University, the study will leverage a unique binational dataset to (1) estimate the impact of migration, US residence, and acculturation on cognitive function and dementia risk, (2) evaluate how...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $158,918 to Vanderbilt University to conduct a multi-omic study exploring the impact of lifestyle variation on immunological aging patterns. The study will focus on characterizing age-associated molecular phenotypes such as gene expression, DNA methylation, and clonal hematopoiesis in peripheral blood samples collected from subsistence-level populations (Tsimane, Turkana, Orang Asli) and a...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,128,604.00 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the relationships between immunosenescence, brain aging biomarkers, and cognition across non-human primate species with differing lifespans. The project aims to elucidate the role of the immune system in longevity, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline, which may inform the development of immuno-restorative...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will build a comprehensive database of all enumerated places in the U.S. since 1890 and verify any settlements that have been abandoned since then. The $425,184 grant, awarded on Sep 1, 2024 with a completion date of Aug 31, 2026, will then leverage this database to estimate the causal effect of settlement abandonment on longevity using a synthetic control design. A...
