The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University a $676,587 project grant on February 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a five-year mixed-methods study examining the effectiveness of civil monetary penalties (CMPs) in nursing home enforcement and oversight. The research will deliver empirical evidence on whether CMPs serve as effective deterrents against substandard care or inadvertently worsen care quality by straining facility finances. The project utilizes comprehensive nursing home resident claims data spanning 2011-2024 and administrative enforcement datasets to analyze the relationship between penalties and care deficiencies while accounting for resident, facility, operational, and external factors. The study produces three primary research products: (1) analysis of CMP relationships with nursing home deficiencies; (2) causal impact assessment of CMPs on resident care quality using difference-in-differences methodology comparing penalized facilities to matched controls; and (3) qualitative interview data from state surveyors and nursing home administrators documenting CMP implementation variability across states. Findings will be integrated using a concurrent-embedded approach to yield actionable recommendations for policymakers and regulatory practitioners seeking to refine nursing home oversight practices and ensure resident care quality. The project concludes on January 31, 2031.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
