This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $128,548 to Northwestern University to conduct research on improving care coordination and reducing care fragmentation for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and multimorbidity. Specifically, the project will use social network analysis and electronic health record data to map system-level and patient-level clinician networks, with the goal of...
This $603,031 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Northwestern University supports a 1-year research study on the clinical, cellular, and pathological features of comorbid Alzheimer's disease and TDP-43 proteinopathies in elderly patients with amnestic dementia. The key objectives are to: 1) identify the shared versus distinct clinical, neuropsychological, and psychiatric characteristics of this condition; 2) determine the cellular...
This Project Grant award of $328,037 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a longitudinal mixed methods social network analysis (MMSNA) study of the Cumberland House Reentry Program. The program aims to build social ties and enhance community engagement for older men transitioning from long-term incarceration. The study will collect dynamic sociocentric network data and qualitative data on health and interpersonal relationships to evaluate the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $174,528 to the University of Wisconsin System to establish foundational data on the epidemiology of delirium, the delivery of evidence-based delirium prevention measures, and potential barriers and facilitators to delivering those measures among the rapidly aging incarcerated population. The project aims to improve hospital care for older incarcerated adults by strengthening the...
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 $322,286 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to advance health equity in the use of novel treatments for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary objectives are to: Conduct focus groups with diverse individuals affected by ADRD to understand their medication decision-making processes. Design and administer discrete choice experiments to learn how different treatment attributes are...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $243,000 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to Mayo Clinic to conduct research on assessing the needs and advancing dignity-conserving care for hospitalized, incarcerated older adults. The 5-year grant project will leverage a unique dataset to define trends in factors like age, delirium, and advance directive completion for this population. It will also use qualitative methods to characterize the...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), supports research into the role of senescent cells in brain aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The $654,238 award, with a start date of September 15, 2024 and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026, aims to generate high-resolution spatial omics data from ADRD brains and corresponding mouse models to identify molecular changes in the...
This $2,330,235 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to examine the relationship between diet, neuroinflammation, brain oxidative stress, and plasma neurodegenerative biomarkers in a diverse population. The goal is to elucidate the link between diet and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The 5-year study, awarded to Rush University Medical Center, will collect new data and leverage existing data from...
This $2,365,042 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on the biological underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The research aims to better characterize the interplay between biological markers of neurodegeneration, vascular, nutritional, and inflammatory systems, and their interface with social and economic factors, by leveraging cross-national comparisons...

This $12,868,304 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a 5-year study by Northwestern University to investigate the impact of incarceration on health, age-related conditions, and risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among a longitudinal cohort of middle-aged adults. The study aims to: 1) assess health, age-related conditions, and ADRD risk factors among participants, 2) examine the relationship between incarceration dose (frequency, duration, facility type, age) and these outcomes, and 3) identify risk and protective factors that moderate the link between incarceration and health. Northwestern will collaborate with a sub-awardee, The Johns Hopkins University, to conduct this comprehensive, prospective study leveraging their existing 28-year juvenile justice research cohort. The findings are expected to elucidate how incarceration experiences influence ADRD risk and establish an empirical foundation to reduce disparities in healthy aging for those with criminal justice involvement.
