Project Grant R01AG103250
- 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...
- 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 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 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 The Leland Stanford Junior University $423,500 for a Project Grant on August 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The recipient will conduct the first rigorous study of neighborhood-level spillover effects of income transfers on health outcomes. The research investigates whether income gains accruing to low-income neighborhood residents generate health improvements among nonrecipients through peer diffusion of healthy behaviors and...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $533,500 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds examination of the role of autonomic innervation in muscle stem cell aging. The research investigates the functional link between autonomic nervous system neurons and muscle stem cells using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. The project will refine...
- 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 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 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 Drexel University $1,306,728 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on August 1, 2026, to conduct a longitudinal, multi-site study examining how individual lifestyle, social circumstances, and neighborhood-level factors influence physical functioning trajectories in older adults across population subgroups and U.S. regions. The research leverages over 30 years of longitudinal data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) cohort and...
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 infants, children, and youth despite evidence that early-life conditions shape lifelong outcomes. The project will use restricted administrative data on the universe of U.S. deaths between 1990 and 2028 and apply a replicable, uniform, fine-grained area-level approach to measure mortality differences by income and trends across all ages, by causes of death, and in harmonized data from peer countries. The research will also examine health conditions driving class gaps in the United States and the country's collective decline relative to peer nations. Work is performed in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The period of performance extends from the award date through June 30, 2030.
