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...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,928,657 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan.

The study will leverage national survey data to: 1) Create sub-indices and a composite measure of...
This federal Project Grant award of $198,995, awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, aims to develop and validate a comprehensive measure of the financial impacts of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) on family caregivers and their social networks. The key objectives are to: 1) engage diverse family caregivers and their networks to identify areas of financial impact, 2) develop and pilot a quantitative measure of financial impact,...
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 Project Grant award, valued at $131,813, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The award will fund research by the Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus, to quantify the effects of poverty alleviation policies, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), on the prevalence and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $199,263 to investigate best practices for delivering care and improving quality of life for nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project, titled "PROJECT GLORY: GOOD LIFE IN MEMORY CARE", aims to: 1) Obtain first-hand experiences from residents with ADRD, their families, and nursing staff on quality of life and care practices; 2) Develop an...
This $2,451,044 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the "Engaging Aging Minds" research project led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The project aims to investigate the impact of labor force participation and stimulating activities in middle and later life on cognitive aging outcomes across diverse international settings, including low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) like China,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Duke University provides $840,931 to characterize family structures, care utilization, and well-being among persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) across 10 Asian countries. The project will leverage common data elements to: (1) identify major types of family caregiving structures for persons with ADRD, (2) assess factors associated with these family structures, and (3) evaluate how family structures relate to care utilization and well-being. This research aims to inform the design and targeting of community-based dementia care services to improve outcomes for persons with ADRD in the Asian region. The project period runs from May 15, 2025 to February 28, 2030.
