This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) provides $183,860 to the University of California, Berkeley to examine the neighborhood-level drivers of persistently poor cardiovascular health outcomes and disparities in the Southeastern United States. The research will focus on measures of social vulnerability, disinvestment, and racial/economic isolation in rural areas, and explore...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) totaling $1,742,902 will support a study on disparities in cardiovascular health outcomes among young adults with type 1 diabetes. The study aims to 1) quantify racial/ethnic differences in cardiovascular disease risk factor trajectories and subclinical outcomes, 2) understand which social determinants of health are associated with these disparities, and 3) determine...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $794,978 to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on the relationship between socioeconomic factors, epigenetic aging, and cognitive decline in midlife. The research aims to investigate how individual and community-level socioeconomic disadvantage over the lifespan impact epigenetic aging and cognitive function, testing for accelerated epigenetic aging as a potential biological...
This $117,750 Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) will fund a study investigating the prospective associations between neighborhood environment features and physical activity, as well as weight status, across different age groups. The study will leverage data from five existing NIH-funded studies to efficiently examine long-term impacts over 5-15 year periods. Key objectives include...
This federal Project Grant award of $189,199 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under its Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to study the relationships between cognition, physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, genetics, and the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-vulnerable brain networks in a cohort of periadolescent children (aged 8-13 years old). The award supports a cross-sectional study investigating how modifiable risk factors, such as physical activity and...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), provides $155,364 to The Regents of the University of Colorado to study rural-urban differences in the genetic associations for cardiovascular health (CVH) risk factors. The project will leverage five waves of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) to examine how genetic predisposition, as measured by polygenic scores, differs in its association with obesity, high cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes between rural and urban populations. The findings aim to provide critical insights on the complex social and biological origins of rural-urban health disparities. The research will contribute to the literature in both social and genetic epidemiology related to this important public health issue. The award period runs from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
