- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $192,177 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on March 3, 2026, to conduct research estimating the effects of Medicare Advantage on health outcomes and nursing home care quality among long-stay residents aged 65 or older. The project addresses a gap in evidence regarding Medicare Advantage's impact on nursing home residents as MA enrollment among long-stay residents has risen from 13.3 percent in 2011 to 31.5 percent in 2021. The...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Miami University $144,500 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine social factors that influence caregiver inclusion in older adult clinical appointments and identify which approaches to caregiver involvement produce optimal health outcomes. The project applies a person-centered analytic methodology to nationally representative data, conducting stage 0 activities under the NIH Stage Model to characterize social...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Emory University $535,656 for a project grant on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The project, titled "Understand the Determinants and Quality Implications of Agency Staff Use in Nursing Homes: A Mixed Methods Study," examines how temporary staffing agencies impact resident outcomes and continuity of care across nursing homes. The study links payroll-based journal staffing data with national Medicare and resident...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The University of Iowa $499,024 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 2, 2026, to conduct a mixed-methods study examining pathways to sustained quality improvements in nursing homes that participated in the Special Focus Facility program. The research employs quasi-experimental methods using resident-level data from 2011–2023 to assess whether Special Focus Facility participation is associated with sustained improvements in health...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Texas State University $414,820 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a mixed-methods study examining the relationship between nursing staff work scheduling intensity and quality of care and turnover in nursing homes. The project, titled "Nursing Staff Work Scheduling Intensity: Effects on Turnover and Quality in Nursing Homes (WIN-TQ)," will use national longitudinal nursing home datasets from...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $825,128 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify drivers of variation in home health outcomes and clarify how differences in care processes contribute to disparities in patient outcomes across demographic groups. The project will develop group-specific process and outcome measures to assess variations in care by patient grouping, addressing gaps in current Medicare quality metrics that...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded $676,587 to Weill Medical College of Cornell University on February 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a mixed-methods study examining the effectiveness of civil monetary penalties (CMPs) in enhancing nursing home quality of care. The research analyzes whether CMPs serve as effective deterrents against substandard care or inadvertently worsen care deficiencies by imposing financial strain on facilities. Aim 1 explores the...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $720,523 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to evaluate the impact of integrated dual-eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) on utilization, quality, mortality, and chronic disease management among low-income individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid who qualify for Medicare based on disability. The study addresses a...
- This Project Grant award of $2,278,636.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund research to characterize and evaluate different nursing home clinician care models for residents with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to understand the characteristics and outcomes of existing clinician care models, with a focus on the degree of co-management between nurse practitioners and physicians. The research will survey a nationally...
The National Institute on Aging awarded Miami University $314,640 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine how state-level nurse practitioner scope of practice regulations affect staffing patterns and resident outcomes in nursing homes. The research employs sequential explanatory mixed methods across three aims: determining how changes to state NP scope of practice regulations affect NP staffing patterns in nursing homes; examining the effect of different NP staffing patterns and expanded NP scope of practice on nursing home resident outcomes; and exploring qualitatively the factors influencing nursing homes' employment of NPs and service impact on resident outcomes. The study uses state regulatory changes between 2019 and 2024 as a natural experiment, comparing states that changed regulations against a control group of states that had granted NPs full practice authority prior to the study period. Aim 1 and Aim 2 utilize a difference-in-differences framework to analyze NP staffing levels and resident outcomes. The award period runs September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, with performance taking place in Oxford, Ohio. This is a Project Grant, the standard assistance type under the Aging Research program.
