The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $7,249,563 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). This 3-year award, starting on Aug 1, 2023, will support research to characterize the structural properties and variability of tau protein aggregation in different brain cell types and at different disease stages of Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to develop new...
This Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $130,302.00, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The award, with an effective date of July 15, 2025 and an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2030, supports research at New York University (NYU) to investigate the molecular and functional impacts of pathological tau accumulation in basal forebrain cholinergic neurons and its consequences for Alzheimer's...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $1,592,854 to the University of Illinois to conduct research on tau protein conformation and its role in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The key focus areas include: Defining the effects of tau post-translational modifications on tau function and pathology. This will evaluate how modifications like phosphorylation, acetylation, and cross-linking impact the exposure of tau's regulatory...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $644,915.00 to Wayne State University from September 1, 2024 to May 31, 2026 to explore a molecular intervention for reversing CaMKIIa dysregulation, tau pathology, dendritic spinopathy, and memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease models. The grant will fund research to evaluate the potential of redirecting CaMKIIa, a critical memory molecule, as a target for restoring deficits in...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $757,027 to the University of Washington to conduct research on the synergistic relationship between tau and TDP-43 proteins in Alzheimer's disease. The research aims to identify mechanisms that drive the interaction between these two pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's and how they contribute to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Key activities include using C. elegans models to...
This National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging project grant award of $1,337,894 provides funding from June 1, 2022 through May 31, 2025 to Michigan State University for research into hyperphosphorylated tau and the molecular mechanisms of tauopathy. The award supports research aimed at using a recombinant hyperphosphorylated tau model to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying tauopathies, with a focus on identifying how hyperphosphorylated tau damages cells and what makes...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $4,276,054 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on September 1, 2024. The project aims to develop mathematical models to quantitatively test and validate hypotheses regarding the selective vulnerability of genes, cells, and neural networks in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) tauopathy. The research will leverage two enabling...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $784,596 to Northeastern University to conduct comprehensive and cell type-specific proteogenomic profiling of aberrant and mis-processed proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and tauopathy models. The project aims to substantially expand understanding of protein dysfunctions in AD by applying state-of-the-art proteomic methods paired with proteogenomics across multiple brain regions, AD stages,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $433,125 will fund a study to investigate the relationship between microglia, neurons, and tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease. The research will utilize a novel model system of microglial co-cultures with hippocampal assembloids derived from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines with MAPT mutations and healthy controls. The goal is to explore how bidirectional changes...
This Project Grant award of $1,526,066 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to investigate the mechanisms by which the protein tau and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to a broad spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The goal is to use in vivo animal models and human cell culture models to examine how tau regulation of mitochondrial reverse electron transfer (RET) is...
