Award Overview Northwestern University received a $670,904 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective February 15, 2026, through November 30, 2030. The award supports a longitudinal cohort study examining aging-in-place (AIP) and long-term care (LTC) decision-making among older adults with Alzheimer's dementia, building upon an existing NIA-funded cohort (LITCOG) with 293 participants and a 94.5% retention rate. Research Products and Services The project delivers comprehensive research services examining how aging-in-place and long-term care decisions are made and implemented over time among cognitively diverse older adults. Specifically, the research involves semi-annual participant surveys conducted over 42 months to assess changing subject characteristics, AIP/LTC decisions, implementation outcomes, and concordance between planned and actual decisions. The study integrates cognitive testing data with decision-making variables including external factors (social support) and internal factors (self-efficacy) to identify which variables ultimately impact implementation of AIP/LTC plans. Prior findings have demonstrated that older adults require distinctive cognitive subtypes for effective AIP/LTC planning, that decision-making follows non-linear patterns, and that multiple psychosocial factors influence decision trajectories. The research aims to close identified gaps in understanding implementation patterns to inform interventions supporting older adults' preferences to remain in their own homes while managing progressive cognitive decline.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
