The award funds two complementary short courses. Course One, "Designing and Leading Cross-National Studies with HRS and HCAP Cognitive Data," introduces principal investigators, lab...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Washington $1,212,446 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal analysis of multi-omics biomarkers and their association with cognitive decline and dementia. The recipient will leverage serial multi-omics data with deep phenotyping to map mechanisms of cognitive decline and dementia and nominate druggable targets. The work uses two discovery and replication cohorts: the Cardiovascular...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $6.203 million on September 15, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine peripheral immune markers and vascular dysfunction as contributors to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. The research integrates circulating biomarkers—platelet aggregation, neutrophil activity, and proteomic data—with advanced imaging to assess associations between vascular and immune dysfunction and cerebrovascular burden, amyloid...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $3.053 million on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal research on caregiving networks and their consequences among adults ages 85 and older. The award funds the ARIC CARES study, embedded within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study cohort. The research will characterize care ecosystems and relational coordination (teamwork) among family caregivers, paid caregivers, and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Drexel University $420,554 under Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to establish an integrated system for studying senescence and aging in the central nervous system. The award funds two research aims: characterization of the molecular and functional consequences of senescence in astrocyte and neuronal cultures, and evaluation of senescence impact in a multicellular context using hiPSC-derived vascularized cortical organoids. Single-cell...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Northwestern University $1,341,808 on February 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal research on aging-in-place and long-term care decision-making among older adults with Alzheimer's dementia. The research extends a current cohort study (R01AG058777) of 293 older adults with a 94.5 percent retention rate. Northwestern will follow subjects every six months through 42 months with surveys examining how aging-in-place...
- The National Institute on Aging, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded the University of Wisconsin System Office of Sponsored Programs (operating as University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee) $642,805 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on January 15, 2026. The award funds three experiments investigating how older age affects memory integration—the ability to generalize across experiences, make inferences, and accumulate knowledge....
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Opinion Research Center $2.489 million on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) for a project grant (R01AG102939) titled "NSHAP Caregiver Study — Networks, Experiences, and Health Outcomes Across the Life Course." The recipient will conduct a comprehensive follow-up study of caregivers participating in Round 5 of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. The project will collect original data...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $712,578 on February 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a prospective study identifying viral infections associated with cognition decline and Alzheimer's disease risk across three prospective cohorts. The award supports comprehensive serologic profiling using VirScan, a bacteriophage immunoprecipitation sequencing technology, to detect immune responses to human viruses and analyze antiviral antibodies in...
The National Institute on Aging awarded The Queen's University of Belfast $1,092,659 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support longitudinal follow-up of the Northern Ireland Cohort for the Longitudinal Study of Ageing (NICOLA). The award funds completion of the third wave of NICOLA data collection and a second wave of detailed cognitive assessments using the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP-2). Wave 3 involves continued longitudinal follow-up of approximately 6,000 NICOLA participants, maintaining core assessment modules from previous waves while introducing new measures including fuel and food insecurity, environmental factors, and microbiome impact on health. The wave includes health assessments, interviews, and collection of biological samples (blood, urine, and faecal) from all participants attending health assessments for subsequent measurement and analysis. The cohort investigates cognitive aging, Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's disease-related dementias, multimorbidity, and biological aging in older adults. The research addresses topics including social care needs and costs, frailty, digital inclusion, social isolation, loneliness, caregiving structures, physical and social environments, transportation, nutrition, and molecular biomarkers. Comparative analysis of aging trajectories across populations supports understanding of institutional and cultural influences on aging. Performance occurs in Great Britain, United Kingdom. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031.
