This federal Project Grant award of $218,261, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), supports research at the University of Virginia to investigate the molecular mechanisms connecting obesity to Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, the two-year project aims to: 1) genetically identify the pathways through which obesity activates the MOAG-4 protein in neuronal cells, and 2) determine how MOAG-4-mediated processes contribute to the neurological...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $498,000 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Michigan State University (MSU) to investigate the mechanisms by which midlife obesity and prediabetes contribute to later-life cognitive decline. The study aims to establish the role of the cGAS/STING inflammatory pathway and microglial dysfunction in transmitting inflammatory signals within the central nervous system, leading to age-related cognitive impairment...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $405,849 to the Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences to conduct research on the impact of obesity-induced hepatic amyloid beta dysregulation on Alzheimer's disease pathology. The 2-year project aims to examine how obesity-induced changes in liver function, specifically the overexpression of amyloid precursor protein and downregulation of the lipoprotein receptor-related...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a research project at the University of Wisconsin - Madison to elucidate the cerebrovascular disease pathways that contribute to cognitive decline. The $640,906 grant, awarded on June 1, 2025, will leverage existing longitudinal data from over 2,000 participants to reprocess MRI data and provide a detailed spatial characterization of intracranial vascular stiffness and neurovascular flow tone...
This federal Project Grant award of $768,427.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a 3-year longitudinal study to determine the mechanisms linking midlife vascular risk factors with the early loss of brain tissue structure and cognitive function. The study aims to (1) investigate the early drivers of increased cerebrovascular pulsatility, (2) evaluate the spatial and temporal relationship between cerebrovascular pulsatility and brain tissue...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $2,273,637 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct a comprehensive study of plasma and brain lipidomics (lipid analysis) and their associations with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and cognitive decline. The study will leverage novel lipid quantification technology to analyze over 1,500 lipid species in blood samples from 3,868 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study, as well...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to assess long-term impacts of disruption to large-scale brain networks in the context of healthy and pathological aging. The $354,145 award to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York will fund a longitudinal study using awake resting-state functional MRI to characterize changes in brain network organization and connectivity in mice as they age from 3...
The National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging awarded $4,575,712 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Washington University from May 2022 to April 2025. The award will support research into white matter metabolism in the context of aging, white matter hyperintensities, and Alzheimer's disease. Investigators will apply quantitative positron emission tomography imaging techniques to measure cerebral oxygen consumption, blood flow, oxygen extraction fraction, and...
The National Institute on Aging has awarded a $1,473,241 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866) to Mayo Clinic to investigate the role of adipose senescent cells in cognitive function and Alzheimer's disease progression. The 5-year grant, awarded on August 15, 2024, will support research aimed at determining whether the accumulation of senescent cells in adipose tissue contributes to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration through endocrine effects. The project will utilize a novel mouse model to deplete...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), will support a comprehensive study of the molecular mechanisms underlying pathological aging in the human brain and adipose tissue, as well as their inter-organ communication. The $1,394,250 award, active from August 2024 to July 2026, will enable researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to leverage tissue transcriptomes to identify common gene...
