- This Project Grant award, valued at $2,380,018.00, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Regents of the University of Michigan. The overarching goal is to investigate the influence of cumulative hyperglycemia, type 2 diabetes management, and vascular risk factors on cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) risk. The research team will leverage pooled cohort studies and individual participant data meta-analysis to...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Johns Hopkins University $769,960 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, for research examining how changes in home health care agency ownership and private capital investment affect access to care, quality of care, and patient outcomes for people living with dementia. The project, which runs through May 31, 2031, investigates the impact of multi-state chain acquisitions and private capital investments on home health...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $511,574 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop statistical methods for precision health management in high-risk Alzheimer's disease populations. The recipient will conduct three integrated research activities. Aim 1 involves evidence synthesis through semi-automated systematic review and meta-analyses of published studies to synthesize evidence on prognostic...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Johns Hopkins University $581,090 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to conduct the Joint Environment & Occupation Dementia Study (JEODE), a longitudinal investigation of combined environmental and occupational exposures as risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and cognitive decline. The study uses data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study, a nationwide cohort of 9,204 Medicare...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California, Berkeley $549,260 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop advanced large language model-based AI tools that enhance precision in predicting Alzheimer's disease pathology and cognitive outcomes. The research addresses critical gaps in precision medicine for Alzheimer's disease, particularly the need to capture patient heterogeneity, accurately identify treatment candidates for...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded The Johns Hopkins University $6.915 million in Project Grant funding on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to characterize and target potentially preventable hospitalizations in persons living with dementia. The research will develop methods to accurately identify potentially preventable hospitalizations (PPH) in dementia patients and deepen understanding of the mechanisms...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $6.203 million on September 15, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine peripheral immune markers and vascular dysfunction as contributors to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. The research integrates circulating biomarkers—platelet aggregation, neutrophil activity, and proteomic data—with advanced imaging to assess associations between vascular and immune dysfunction and cerebrovascular burden, amyloid...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Emory University $643,613 on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to discover glycosylation-based disease processes and identify glyco-biomarkers and targets for improving Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. The recipient will perform innovative research using an integrated platform of intact glycopeptide-based quantitative glycoproteomics and systems biology to elucidate brain glycoproteome alterations in...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Colorado-Denver $429,000 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, to develop clinical decision support tools and implementation guidance for primary care clinicians and patients navigating Alzheimer's disease blood biomarker testing and diagnostic decision-making. The project, R21AG104791, addresses a gap in primary care capacity to diagnose Alzheimer's disease and incorporate newly FDA-approved blood...
The National Institute on Aging awarded The Johns Hopkins University $680,637 on September 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a pragmatic clinical trial improving cognitive impairment screening in older adults with diabetes. The funded work develops and validates novel tools using natural language processing and large language models to identify cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias screening events in electronic health records. The project then conducts a pragmatic trial testing a clinical decision support intervention to improve geriatric cognitive screening, diagnosis, and management for older adults with comorbid diabetes. The study addresses the population health challenge of dual disease burden in older Americans—17 million adults age 65 and older live with diabetes, which significantly increases Alzheimer's risk and complicates disease management through complications including severe hypoglycemia, falls, fractures, frailty, and mortality. The award is structured as a Project Grant, the standard assistance type for investigator-initiated research under the Aging Research program. Performance occurs in Baltimore, Maryland, with a period of performance extending from the award date through August 31, 2031. The funded work supports scalable, system-level interventions to advance geriatric screening practices and promote healthy aging and quality of life outcomes for older adults managing both cognitive decline and diabetes.
