This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research, aims to develop explainable and ethical artificial intelligence (AI) models to assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The $738,014 award to Emory University, with a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029, will leverage the institution's expertise in explainable AI, cerebrospinal fluid proteomics, and understanding the role of factors like race, social determinants of health, and comorbidities in AD. The goal is to create enhanced AI models that can be further developed into effective clinical decision support tools, while also advancing the understanding of AD pathophysiology. This research seeks to address the significant and growing challenge of AD, which is projected to affect 13.8 million Americans by 2050 and cost over $1.2 trillion annually in health, long-term care, and hospice services.
