- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded J. David Gladstone Institutes a Project Grant of $1,459,072 on August 1, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on Alzheimer's Disease (AD)-related neurological dysfunction. The research will deliver scientific knowledge and methodological innovations focused on understanding how inhibitory interneurons—specifically parvalbumin (PVALB) and somatostatin (SST) cell types—contribute...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded J. David Gladstone Institutes a Project Grant of $790,288 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective February 15, 2026, through November 30, 2030. The primary deliverable is foundational genetic research aimed at identifying disease-driving genetic variants within the MAPT locus on chromosome 17q21.31, a region associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias as well as multiple other...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Northwestern University received a $1.34M Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded February 15, 2026, with completion targeted for November 30, 2030. This research project continues longitudinal follow-up of an existing cohort study (N=293, 94.5% retention rate) to examine how aging-in-place and long-term care (AIP/LTC) decision-making and implementation evolve over time among older adults...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Harvard Medical School received a $251,802 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) awarded August 15, 2025, with completion targeted for May 31, 2027. This award supports research investigating cell-type-specific dysregulation and genetic control of alternative polyadenylation (APA) in neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The research will leverage...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Stanford University a $646,340 Project Grant on June 15, 2026, to conduct comprehensive research on the effects of health shocks in older age on older adults and their families. The research deliverable is a novel individual-level administrative database linking health trajectories of older adults to the physical, mental, and economic well-being of their family members across multiple generations, covering a 25-year period from 1999 through 2024. This database construction leverages the U.S. Census Bureau's infrastructure for linking administrative data and addresses a critical evidence gap in aging research, where previous studies have predominantly focused on individual patients rather than broader family contexts. The funded research project will examine interdependencies between the mental, physical, and economic well-being of older adults and their families, with particular attention to health shocks resulting in pronounced loss of independence, such as Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Key analytical products include descriptive analyses of variation in family circumstances at the time of different health shocks, stratified by demographic groups, geographic location, and socioeconomic status. The award supports research activities through March 31, 2031, conducted at Stanford University's Palo Alto, California facility, under the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), which emphasizes biomedical, social, and behavioral research to advance understanding of aging processes and age-related diseases.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
