NORC will sustain and expand the Dementia DataHub, an online interactive surveillance visualization platform providing open-access estimates of diagnosed Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) at...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1.67 million Project Grant (CFDA 93.866: Aging Research) to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences, effective September 15, 2025, through September 14, 2027. The project develops a comprehensive residential address history dataset for the Project Talent cohort, a nationally representative sample of older U.S. adults. The deliverables include: (1) collection and geocoding of all recorded...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Chicago received a $972,000 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded September 2, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2030. The award funds BEFITME II, a research initiative applying user-centered co-design and implementation science methodologies to enhance prehabilitation outcomes for frail older adults undergoing lung cancer surgery. The project addresses a critical gap in...
- Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging awarded a $5.16 million Project Grant to the University of California, Davis on September 1, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate environmental exposures and their relationship to brain health and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project, which extends through August 31, 2029, will deliver research services examining how smartphone Global Positioning System (GPS)-based exposure data to...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Northwestern University's Sponsored Research Division 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. The award supports continuation of a longitudinal cohort study (N=293, 94.5% retention rate) examining how aging-in-place and long-term care (AIP/LTC) decision-making and implementation evolve over time among...
The University of Chicago received a $1.46 million Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective July 1, 2026 through May 31, 2031. This award funds the "Experiences, Exposures, and Alzheimer's Disease: Longitudinal Study of Olfaction, Cognition, and Metabolism in Older US Adults (NSHAP Exposome)" research initiative. The project delivers comprehensive environmental exposure assessment and biomarker analysis services by enriching the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study of older Americans, with detailed exposure data and biological samples. Specific deliverables include collection of residential address histories from NSHAP respondents, assignment of long-term air pollution exposures, direct measurement of indoor air pollution and volatile organic chemicals, and metabolomic analyses of blood samples to identify biological pathways connecting airborne exposures to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The project further integrates public datasets linked to address histories and leverages NSHAP's existing social, physical, mental, and cognitive health data to examine how social environmental factors influence exposure and disease pathways. Research outputs are designed to identify pharmacologic targets and nonpharmacologic interventions to mitigate neurologic consequences of environmental exposure.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
