This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $132,116 in funding to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct research evaluating social and clinical risk factors that influence the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) Develop a natural language processing algorithm to identify MCI cases from UCSF's...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $7,249,563 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). This 3-year award, starting on Aug 1, 2023, will support research to characterize the structural properties and variability of tau protein aggregation in different brain cell types and at different disease stages of Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to develop new...
This $1,277,367 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research. The grant funds a 5-year study to investigate the transition from midlife to early late-life (ages 60-65) and the development of early clinical Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among Black and White adults. The study aims to identify life course predictors and underlying mechanistic pathways, including the influence of cardiovascular disease risk...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), will support a $2,190,943 multimodal study to examine the relationship between tau deposition and functional network health in cognitively normal older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The research team from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) will use positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to quantify tau pathology and resting-state functional magnetic...
This $4,276,054 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support mathematical modeling and analysis to investigate the selective vulnerability of specific brain regions, cell types, and neural networks in mouse models of tauopathy, a key pathological process in Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to quantitatively test and validate hypotheses regarding selective vulnerability driven by protein aggregation, clearance, and...
This $209,067 federal Project Grant award was made by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on May 17, 2024. The primary objective of this research project is to evaluate several important clinical decisions commonly encountered by primary care providers (PCPs) when caring for patients experiencing cognitive decline or Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). Specifically,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $800,700 in funding to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct a longitudinal, multimodal imaging study. The goal is to elucidate the role of neuronal dysfunction and hyperexcitability in the early biological progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study will identify the earliest manifestations of neural circuit hyperexcitability that predict the...
This $519,750 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a 2-year research study by the J. David Gladstone Institutes, a non-profit biomedical research organization in San Francisco. The study aims to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms by which reducing levels of the tau protein can prevent or diminish excitation/inhibition imbalance and network hyperexcitability in the brain. This imbalance has been observed in various...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $2,215,724 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a project titled "INTRINSIC CSF OUTFLOW METRICS FOR MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE." The award aims to develop a novel, non-invasive MRI technique to study intrinsic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) outflow metrics in healthy older adults, individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and those...
This federal Project Grant award of $444,890.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to explore the transmission of distinct pathological protein conformers associated with Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, and related neurodegenerative disorders. The research will combine mathematical modeling with functional studies in mouse models to identify key genes that mediate the selective vulnerability of brain regions to the spreading of...
