- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Southern California $586,743 on September 4, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop the Gateway to American Aging Data (GAMA), a research infrastructure designed to accelerate life course research on how modifiable environmental exposures shape later-life health outcomes. GAMA will harmonize survey data across five nationally representative U.S. cohorts: the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), National...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Drexel University $1,306,728 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on August 1, 2026, to conduct a longitudinal, multi-site study examining how individual lifestyle, social circumstances, and neighborhood-level factors influence physical functioning trajectories in older adults across population subgroups and U.S. regions. The research leverages over 30 years of longitudinal data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort and...
- 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 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 $680,086 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how changes in primary care clinician work effort affect health outcomes for older adults. The research quantifies the number of Medicare patients affected by primary care clinician turnover and sustained reductions in billed clinical effort, identifies factors associated with these work effort...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $811,172 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a five-year prospective observational study testing whether economic scarcity affects medication adherence and uptake of preventive services among older adults with chronic disease. The research enrolls 400 adults aged 50 years or older who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and are prescribed once-daily...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $1.146 million on September 20, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop and deliver a research education program on best practices for measuring and analyzing cognitive data in international health and retirement studies. 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 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 the University of Pennsylvania $825,128 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify drivers of variation in home health outcomes and clarify how differences in care processes contribute to disparities in patient outcomes across demographic groups. The project will develop group-specific process and outcome measures to assess variations in care by patient grouping, addressing gaps in current Medicare quality metrics that...
The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Southern California $1,058,064 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a large-scale randomized controlled trial of CAPABLE—Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders—versus usual care in permanent supportive housing (PSH). CAPABLE is a 10-session, home-based intervention delivered over five months by an occupational therapist, registered nurse, and maintenance worker to address capabilities and home environment modifications for low-income older adults with limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Prior research established CAPABLE's effectiveness in improving ADLs and IADLs and reducing costs. A pilot randomized controlled trial demonstrated that CAPABLE can improve outcomes in PSH populations, which include chronically homeless individuals with an average age just under 60 years who experience accelerated aging and higher rates of chronic mental health conditions than typical CAPABLE populations. The pilot also identified that CAPABLE clinicians require training in psychiatric rehabilitation and referrals when working in PSH settings. The five-year study will enroll 634 PSH tenants and compare CAPABLE to usual care, which consists of intensive case management services. Research will be conducted in partnership with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, which provides services to over 20,000 PSH tenants. Work is performed in Los Angeles, California, with a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031.
