- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $650,872 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the bioenergetic, physiological, and gait mechanics mechanisms that contribute to the high energetic cost of walking in older adults. The 5-year project, which began on August 15, 2025, will use clinical, laboratory, and sensor-based assessments to detect changes in health and mobility consistent with the onset and...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to identify multi-scale mechanisms contributing to age-related increases in the metabolic cost of walking and decreases in walking speed. The $3,224,215 award to Georgia Tech Research Corp, to be completed by July 31, 2029, will leverage a multi-scale, computational-experimental approach to probe the cellular-to-behavioral mechanisms linking the...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $245,434 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences to conduct research on preserving muscle and bone health in older adults undergoing weight loss interventions. The 2.5-year project aims to develop automated analysis techniques to measure changes in muscle quantity and quality, as well as bone strength, using computed tomography (CT) scans collected as part of an ongoing clinical trial....
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $287,218.16 in funding to the University of Maryland, Baltimore from August 1, 2021 through March 27, 2022.
