This $407,000 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research by the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) to investigate the relationship between HIV infection and the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using AD mouse models infected with a chimeric HIV strain. The central hypothesis is that HIV may accelerate the development of cognitive decline in AD. The 2-year study will conduct longitudinal behavioral,...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $1,550,462 to support a 5-year cross-sectional, longitudinal, and observational study investigating the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk genes, with a focus on APOE E4, on brain function in older Black/African American individuals living with HIV. The project aims to enroll 120 participants with HIV (60 with and 60 without the APOE E4 allele) and 80 demographically...
This $4,950,026 project grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is investigating potential synergy between HIV infection and amyloid beta, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, in promoting memory impairment. Researchers will characterize enhanced HIV neuropathogenesis in familial and late-onset Alzheimer's disease mouse models...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), through its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), has awarded a $534,644.00 Project Grant to Temple University - Of The Commonwealth System Of Higher Education. The grant aims to characterize how the HIV-1 virus decreases neuronal clearance, leading to the progression of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders like motor dysfunction. Key research activities include determining the post-translational regulation of the SNAPIN protein and its impact on...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,833,089 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to the J. David Gladstone Institutes. The award will support research to investigate the roles of the TREM2 and TYROBP genes and their impact on network hyperexcitability, which may contribute to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Key objectives include determining whether TYROBP hypofunction exacerbates network...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will provide $880,000 to Old Dominion University from September 2024 through August 2026. The project aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of microglia depletion and repopulation (MGDR) on mitigating hand and neuropsychiatric symptoms in the context of chronic HIV infection. Specifically, the research will explore the impact of MGDR on brain pathology in HIV-infected mouse models, examining its...
This $3,109,079 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research at the University of California, Riverside to investigate the role of traumatic brain injury (TBI) across the lifespan in the development of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project will use a closed head injury (CHI) TBI mouse model to examine how ADRD risk factors, such as the APOE4 gene and amyloid-beta, interact with TBI at different life stages...
This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $263,844 to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to conduct research on tracking myeloid heterogeneity and neuroinflammation in mouse models and cerebrospinal fluid of HIV-suppressed individuals. The goal is to identify molecular markers associated with cognitive decline in people living with HIV. The project aims to map macrophage and microglia...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $3,845,311 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the early determinants of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using age-equivalent neurons derived from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. The project aims to better understand the convergence of risk factors, including polygenic variants and biological aging, on molecular pathways that initiate and...
This $383,750 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research by the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) to explore the molecular, neuro-immune and behavioral changes that occur during HIV-associated progressive aging using a long-term humanized mouse model. The goal is to determine how HIV latency and antiretroviral therapy (ART) contribute to premature aging, referred to as "LAAGING", and the associated...

This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) provides $768,131 over 5 years to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the role of the TREM2 protein in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis among people living with HIV. The project aims to delineate the specific mechanisms by which HIV infection may alter TREM2 function, potentially exacerbating neurodegeneration and inflammation and accelerating Alzheimer's-like pathogenesis in this population. The research will be conducted through experiments in mouse models, cell culture studies, and analysis of post-mortem brain tissues from people with and without HIV, both with and without neurocognitive impairment. This work may provide insights for developing novel therapeutics targeting TREM2-related pathways to address neurodegenerative diseases in people with HIV.
