- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco $736,432 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how healthcare financialization shapes goal-concordant serious illness care in older adults. The recipient will conduct an ethnographic interview study across six hospital sites—two academic medical centers and four affiliated hospitals in two geographic regions—to document mechanisms by which...
- 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 awarded $680,086 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how changes in primary care clinician work effort affect health outcomes for older adults. The research quantifies the number of Medicare patients affected by primary care clinician turnover and sustained reductions in billed clinical effort, identifies factors associated with these work effort...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $146,750 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on July 1, 2026, to identify molecular-neuropathological signatures in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, and long COVID. The recipient will employ single-cell spatial multi-omics on postmortem brain tissues to characterize molecular and cellular alterations linked to selective...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Arizona State University $1,249,351 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine day-to-day fluctuations in loneliness and their relationship to biological and functional aging outcomes across multiple timescales. The research will identify patterns of daily loneliness—average daily loneliness, loneliness volatility (day-to-day fluctuations), and loneliness reactivity to daily triggers—and map how these patterns predict...
- 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...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of California, San Francisco received a $694,172 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) awarded August 15, 2025, with completion targeted for July 31, 2027. This research grant supports a two-phase investigation examining how social resilience influences immunometabolic hallmarks of aging in prairie voles, a rodent species that forms long-term pair bonds. The R61 phase will utilize...
- 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 Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $3.356 million on September 2, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify distinct multidimensional risk profiles for loneliness in stroke survivors during the first year after stroke. The research will examine how risk factors cluster across individual, interpersonal, and community levels to create distinct loneliness profiles among stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA)...
The National Institute on Aging, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $819,959 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco on September 3, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support research on end-of-life isolation among older adults. The project, titled "Dying Alone: Understanding and Addressing End-of-Life Isolation Among Older Adults," addresses the clinical and public health consequences of social isolation at end of life, which affects nearly one in five deaths. Isolated older adults experience twice the symptom burden including depression, loneliness, and pain; navigate medical logistics alone; and are less likely to enroll in hospice while more likely to use acute care. The research will examine longitudinal trajectories leading to end-of-life isolation over years or decades through behavioral choices, shifts in social relationships, and key health events. The study will document the lived experience of socially isolated, seriously ill older adults and gather perspectives from clinicians across community, hospital, nursing home, and hospice settings on caring for this population. Work is performed in San Francisco, California. The period of performance extends from September 3, 2026, through May 31, 2031. The assistance type is a Project Grant.
