Project Grant R01AG097622
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Bureau of Economic Research $576,783 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to analyze recent evolution and cause-specific drivers of the U.S. mortality crisis by area-level income in comparison with peer countries. The research will address income-driven disparities in U.S. mortality and the country's declining life expectancy relative to peer nations, filling gaps in existing literature that largely excludes...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Opinion Research Center $380,250 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to expand and enhance a database on exceptional longevity in the United States. The project advances understanding of why some people survive to extreme old age (100+ years) by analyzing early-life, midlife, and late-life predictors of exceptional longevity. The work integrates multiple U.S. data sources accessible through the internet,...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $452,409 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the association between early-life residential exposure to Home Owners' Loan Corporation mortgage disinvestment in the 1930s and mortality outcomes among the 1930–1940 birth cohort. The research addresses a gap in individual-level analysis of how legal HOLC grading and duration of exposure to HOLC-disinvested...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $438,625 on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the long-term effects of Hurricane Katrina on the health, well-being, living arrangements, and mortality of older New Orleans residents aged 60 and above. The project uses linked data sources and within-New Orleans comparisons alongside an external counterfactual comparison group to determine whether disaster exposure produces fleeting effects, sustained...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $1.24 million on September 30, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to construct and analyze a novel individual-level database linking health trajectories of older adults to the physical, mental, and economic well-being of their family members across multiple generations, covering 1999 to 2024. The project leverages Census Bureau infrastructure for linking U.S. survey and administrative data to...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $646,340 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to construct and analyze a novel individual-level database linking health trajectories of older adults to the physical, mental, and economic well-being of their family members across multiple generations, covering 1999 to 2024. The recipient will leverage U.S. Census Bureau infrastructure for linking administrative data to examine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California Irvine $5,101,916 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine daily dynamics of social connection and their influence on physical and cognitive functioning across the adult lifespan. The research uses longitudinal daily diary datasets from the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS), including four waves of diary data across approximately 20 years (beginning in 2002, 2014, and 2023) and two...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $132,300 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the relationship between job loss due to layoffs across working years and the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in mid-to-later life. The research leverages longitudinal data from three complementary datasets spanning the working years of the...
- 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 Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. $706,310 on May 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a longitudinal study examining the interplay among reproductive, molecular, and chronological age in relation to aging-related conditions in women. The study leverages existing high-quality data and biosamples from a well-phenotyped population of over 850 women followed from recruitment in early pregnancy in 1999–2002 for over two decades....
The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. $427,646 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to trace mid-life mortality of birth cohorts born approximately 1940–1960 in the United States by place, time, and family factors. The research combines large-scale administrative datasets—the Numident, Bureau of the Census Numident Mortality Detail file, and Mortality Linkage Project data, containing more than 3.5 million death records from 1988–2005—with contextual exposures to examine how childhood exposures to disease, economic change, stress, and nutritional programs shape mid-life mortality profiles. The project applies hypothesis-driven testing and machine learning tools to estimate causal main and interactive effects of specific early life exposures, including parental loss and war mobilization activities from World War II, the 1957 influenza pandemic, and the 1946 National School Lunch Program, with attention to variation by sex, geography, and family background. An interdisciplinary team of demographers, economists, and sociologists will pursue an interconnected set of specific aims grounded in developmental origins of adult health and disease theory. The period of performance runs through April 30, 2031. Work is performed at the National Bureau of Economic Research in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
