The University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research was awarded a $752,903 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The grant, titled "ISMART: INTELLIGENT SOCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT IN AD/ADRD PATIENTS", aims to develop a machine learning-based social risk management platform that can be integrated into electronic health record systems to improve care and quality of life for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, particularly those from racial-ethnic minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged groups. The project will leverage UF's expertise in real-world data analytics, natural language processing, and causal AI methods to identify key social determinants of health impacting dementia outcomes, and co-design the ISMART platform with stakeholder input. The award period runs from August 15, 2024 to April 30, 2029, with the goal of creating an ISMART prototype and strategies for future implementation and evaluation.
