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 medical professionals in a sample of 2,618 eligible participants ages 81 to 101 across four diverse communities. Data collection will span up to nine six-month intervals, generating an estimated 46,000 interviews and engaging approximately 2,643 caregivers. The study focuses on caregiving dynamics during key health transitions—including diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, hospitalization, and death—and examines how coordination among caregiving networks affects older adults' well-being and intensity of health service use. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through May 31, 2031. Place of performance is New York, New York. New York University School of Medicine, the medical and research arm of the university, serves as the recipient institution. The National Institute on Aging's priorities and the theory of relational coordination guide three specific aims: characterizing relational coordination in a well-characterized sample of the oldest old; examining the impact of relational coordination on well-being and health service intensity at key transitions; and examining the impact of relational coordination on caregiver outcomes and burnout.
