The research...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded President and Fellows of Harvard College $251,802 on August 15, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support a research project titled "Cell-Type-Specific Dysregulation and Genetic Control of Alternative Polyadenylation in Neurodegeneration." The award, which extends through May 31, 2027, funds basic biomedical research aimed at understanding how alternative polyadenylation (APA)—a...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Harvard Medical School $683,924 through the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on February 1, 2026, to conduct a five-year research project examining patient outcomes and health care utilization in U.S. hospices following private equity (PE) acquisitions. The project addresses a critical gap in evidence regarding PE's impact on hospice operations and beneficiary care, particularly given that over half of U.S. hospices...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary Emory University received a $782,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. This research project examines the relationship between reproductive events, menopause, and biological aging processes among Latina women. The primary deliverables include collection of detailed reproductive and perimenopausal health data through structured...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Columbia University's Health Sciences Division a Project Grant of $149,190 on August 6, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct biomedical research on the mechanisms of NBR2, a long non-coding ribonucleic acid (RNA), in human ovarian aging. The research directly addresses the NIA's mission to support investigation of age-related diseases and conditions affecting women's health, responding...
The National Institute on Aging (part of the National Institutes of Health) awarded a $706,310 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866, Aging Research program) to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. on May 1, 2026, with a completion date of February 28, 2031. This research project, titled "The Interplay Among Reproductive, Molecular, and Chronological Age in Relation to Aging-Related Conditions in Women: A Longitudinal Study," will generate scientific knowledge and epidemiological research examining how reproductive aging, biological markers, and chronological age collectively influence the development of age-related chronic diseases in women. The grant supports a longitudinal analysis leveraging high-quality existing data and biosamples from over 850 women followed since early pregnancy recruitment in 1999-2002. The research will examine associations between different aging-related measures and chronic disease risk factors, with particular focus on understanding sex-specific patterns in conditions including dementia, cardiovascular disease, physical frailty, and cardiometabolic diseases. As a nonprofit healthcare organization specializing in epidemiological research and health informatics through its Office of Sponsored Programs Division, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. will deliver peer-reviewed scientific findings and methodological innovations that advance understanding of aging mechanisms and health disparities in women.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
