Project Grant R01AG091414
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), will fund a research project to investigate how environmental exposures such as temperature, greenspace, and the built environment influence cognitive function and dementia risk. The $5,164,012 award to the University of California, Davis will support a study using data from the Nurses' Health Study II and Rush University cohorts to estimate the links between...
- This K99/R00 project grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) in the amount of $107,946 is intended to support Dr. Choi in establishing an independent research program on the relationship between ambient outdoor heat and the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The key objectives of this project are to: 1) assess if high outdoor temperatures increase ADRD risks, and 2) evaluate how socioeconomic and environmental factors at the...
- The Project Grant titled "The Role of Neighborhood Social Exposome Dynamics in Risk and Resilience to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias" was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research. The $3,039,714 grant, with a performance period from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2029, will investigate the pathways between 30 years of neighborhood-level social exposome change, individual modifiable Alzheimer's disease and related...
- This $409,687 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), will support a study to assess the impact of wildfire smoke and heat on cognition, mood, and the human metabolome in a vulnerable older population, specifically those with Parkinson's disease (PD). The research will leverage a large existing case-control study of PD patients and community controls in California's Central...
- This $781,268 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (CFDA 93.113 Environmental Health) will fund research at the University of Southern California to investigate the cardiovascular health impacts of environmental exposures to heat stress and wildfire smoke over the life course. The 5-year study, running from June 2025 to April 2030, will leverage the MetaAIR2 cohort of 400 young adults to examine how these exposures, both independently and jointly,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113) supports research to assess the mid-to-long term health and work disability consequences of exposure to heat-sensitive jobs among older workers. The $441,027 award, spanning September 2025 to August 2027, will leverage longitudinal Health and Retirement Study data linked with extreme heat and occupational data to investigate how...
- This $2,107,715 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Regents of the University of Michigan aims to determine the extent to which exposure to hurricanes affects mortality among older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project will: 1) Examine all-cause mortality following hurricane exposure and identify associated causes of death among the ADRD population; 2) Determine the living environments...
- This is a Project Grant award of $165,108 from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113). The grant is being awarded to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study the effects of gestational exposure to extreme heat and neighborhood heat vulnerability on early childhood blood pressure trajectories. The research aims to investigate the associations between exposure to extreme heat during...
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research totaling $4,188,512 to the University of California, Davis from September 2022 through August 2025. The grant is part of the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), which supports biomedical, social, and behavioral research on aging processes and diseases affecting older populations. Specifically, the University of California, Davis will investigate the hypothesis that ultrafine particulate...
- This $3,264,260 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) aims to determine whether olfactory impairment caused by exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution is a causal factor in the development of late-onset dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The award will fund a comprehensive research project conducted by the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the role of the cGAS/STING/IKK2/NF-κB inflammatory...
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $777,041 Project Grant to the University of Miami to investigate the impact of urban heat island exposure on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) outcomes among older adults in South Florida. The 5-year study aims to: (1) examine the association between recent urban heat island exposure and cognitive function, (2) determine if cumulative urban heat island exposure is linked to structural biomarkers and cognitive decline, and (3) evaluate if urban heat exposures are associated with ADRD risk factors and if greener neighborhoods are associated with lower heat exposures and better ADRD outcomes. The researchers will leverage geographic information system (GIS) data to measure urban heat island exposure and link it to a longitudinal cohort of 500 participants from the Healthy Brain Initiative in South Florida.
