The National Institute on Aging awarded a $2,356,117 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University to study the perioperative management of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The award will support the development of models to assess the risks facing surgical patients with ADRD and evaluate the impact of perioperative interventions, such as the use of anesthetic agents, on short-term and long-term outcomes. The research will...
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 $1,933,556 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to assess the impact of hospital-based health information technology (hospital-HIT) on healthcare quality and equity for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary awardee, the University of Maryland, College Park, will conduct a ten-year longitudinal study to evaluate how hospital-HIT systems that promote care...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $619,681 to The Leland Stanford Junior University will support the development of "Combo-Seq/Tag", a toolkit combining gene editing and protein tagging technologies. The goal is to efficiently perturb Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk genes and conduct multi-omics analyses in human stem cell and in vivo mouse models. The award will yield innovative gene editing vectors...
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 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $423,500.00 to The Leland Stanford Junior University to investigate the relationships between behavioral rhythms of attention and memory, and their neural mechanisms, in young and cognitively unimpaired older adults. The project aims to: 1) examine the relations between behavioral rhythms of episodic memory and feature-based attention and how they are altered in aging; 2) elucidate the neural...
This $2,497,615 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to evaluate the impact of new Medicare home health agency (HHA) payment policies on healthcare utilization and outcomes for Medicare beneficiaries with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project has three key objectives: 1) characterizing changes in the ADRD beneficiary population eligible for HHA services, 2) evaluating the effect of...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $7,997,945 to support a study titled "Advancing Diagnosis of Dementia in Primary Care Practice (ADDPCP)". The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of using a comprehensive diagnostic toolkit in primary care settings to improve early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative dementias. The project will implement the toolkit across 5...
The National Institute on Aging awarded a $917,701 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. in Boston, MA, a subsidiary of Partners Healthcare System Incorporated. The 5-year grant (9/16/2024 - 8/31/2029) will fund the implementation and evaluation of an Acute Hospital Care at Home (AHCAH) pathway specifically designed for persons living with dementia. The goal is to develop a national model that can help avoid the harms of hospitalization for this...
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...
