This $1,473,664 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to examine the potential benefits of local heat therapy for improving skeletal muscle architecture, glycemic control, and physical function in older adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. The overall hypothesis is that local heat therapy can improve skeletal muscle characteristics, glucose tolerance, and frailty indicators, potentially providing an alternative to...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) totals $257,116 and will be performed by Purdue University from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026. The award will fund a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial to determine the effects of daily home-based leg heat therapy on exercise capacity and quality of life in 34 older women with heart failure and preserved ejection...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $124,875 project grant (CFDA 93.866) to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston, MA to study the effects of the home thermal environment on the health and well-being of low-income older adults. The 5-year grant, awarded on August 1, 2024, will continuously measure the home temperature conditions of 50 low-income older adults living in subsidized housing in Boston. Participants will use wearable devices to track sleep, gait, and self-reported...
This federal Project Grant award of $211,988 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to evaluate low-energy cooling strategies for mitigating the adverse health effects of heat waves on the elderly. The research aims to test the efficacy of skin wetting and fan use in attenuating increases in core body temperature and cardiovascular/renal...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a 3-year, $2,561,480 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866) to Brigham & Women's Hospital to study the post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) and subsequent disease progression in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to: 1) understand the epidemiology of PASC in cognitively impaired individuals; 2) examine the impacts of COVID-19 and PASC on disease...
This federal Project Grant award, titled "HEAT WAVES AND THE ELDERLY WITH COPD: REDUCING THERMAL AND CARDIOVASCULAR CONSEQUENCES", is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research. The $143,784 grant, awarded on Sep 8, 2024, aims to investigate the physiological impact of heat wave exposure on cardiovascular, pulmonary, and thermoregulatory responses in older individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...
This federal Project Grant award of $331,439 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a research project titled "Health Equity in Alzheimer's Treatment (HEAT)". The key objectives of the project are to: Use qualitative and quantitative methods to better understand the preferences, diagnostic/monitoring burden, and cost factors affecting the real-world effectiveness of new anti-amyloid Alzheimer's medications in predominantly Black and low-income...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $639,740.00 to investigate the role of the CD38 enzyme in the development of chronic lung conditions following viral infections like COVID-19. The research aims to explore how targeting CD38 on CD8 tissue resident memory (TRM) cells could mitigate age-associated lung fibrosis after viral pneumonia. The award, effective December 15, 2024 through November 30, 2029, will support the lead researcher...
The federal Project Grant award of $654,367.00 was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, supports research to investigate the neural mechanisms of fatigue in individuals with Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), also known as "Long COVID". The research aims to determine the relationship...
This $625,835 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to optimize aerobic fitness and functional response to exercise in older adults. The grant aims to test the efficacy of a combined high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) approach to improve peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and physical function in patients eligible for cardiac rehabilitation, compared to standard...
