The National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging awarded a $4.7 million Project Grant to the University of California, Davis under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate neuropathogenesis in the interoceptive-allostatic network as part of an animal model of early Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. The grant will fund detailed neuroimaging and histological analyses of the brain network responsible for generating and regulating affect in rhesus monkeys administered...
This $6,226,692 project grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to examine the role of neuronal hyperexcitability and proteostasis (protein homeostasis) in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The primary focus is on investigating how modifications in brain activity, particularly in the locus coeruleus (LC) and hippocampus (HPC) regions, can lead to the key pathological hallmarks of AD....
This $2,044,038 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), supports research into the mechanisms driving anxiety in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project, led by New York University School of Medicine, aims to investigate the role of the thalamo-hippocampal-prefrontal circuit in AD-related anxiety. The research will use mouse models of AD to elucidate the functional synaptic architecture, in vivo neural activity, and causal impact of...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $3,281,385 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to leverage 30 years of Alzheimer's disease clinical trials data. The goal is to examine the role of specific patient phenotypes, such as sex/gender, APOE4 status, and polygenic hazard scores, on response to drug or lifestyle interventions. The project will analyze data from 14,602 participants across multiple...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $3,845,311 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the early determinants of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using age-equivalent neurons derived from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. The project aims to better understand the convergence of risk factors, including polygenic variants and biological aging, on molecular pathways that initiate and...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $619,681 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) to develop innovative tools for studying the complex genetic interactions underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. The project, titled "Combinatorial Perturbation with Multi-Omics Readout to Dissect Etiology of Alzheimer's Disease Using Stem Cell and In Vivo Models", will create a toolkit combining gene-editing...

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $137,895 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) with a project period from December 3, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The grant will fund a study to investigate how brain network connectivity is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, longitudinal pathology accumulation, and aging. Specifically, the project will use positron emission tomography (PET)...
This $338,527 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to understand the role of inhibitory interneurons in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) Identify disrupted interneuron gene expression in post-mortem AD brain tissue, 2) Characterize inhibitory dysfunction in AD-derived induced interneurons in vitro, and 3) Assess the impact of transplanting healthy...

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,419,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Southern California (USC) to understand the neural foundations of neuropsychiatric impairments, such as apathy, associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mouse models. The 5-year project aims to explore cortical pathological, molecular, cellular, and transcriptional changes linked to the progression of neuropsychiatric symptoms in AD, as well as determine how cortical neuron function contributes to apathy-like deficits. By integrating multimodal data from behavior assessments, spatial transcriptomics, anatomy, pathology, and neural function, the research seeks to generate new mechanistic insights into neuropsychiatric impairments in AD, which may inform novel strategies for patient care and therapeutic approaches to mitigate the adverse impacts of these symptoms.
