The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,527,001 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The RAND Corporation to conduct research on disparities in undiagnosed and misdiagnosed dementia, and the impact on healthcare utilization and costs. The project will develop a novel probabilistic dementia classification method using linked Health and Retirement Study and Medicare data to better estimate the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, especially among...
This Project Grant award of $319,000 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Brown University aims to identify the rate of normative cognitive aging in adults and determine how much faster cognitive aging occurs in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Specifically, the project will use data from the Children of the Depression (CODA) cohort of the Health and Retirement Study to establish a latent variable estimate of general cognitive...
This $680,931 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a comprehensive research study to address disparities in nursing home care for people with serious mental illness (SMI) and Alzheimer's disease/related dementias (AD/ADRD). The key objectives are to: 1) Assess longitudinal patterns of SMI, AD/ADRD, and comorbid prevalence in nursing homes, including differences by race/ethnicity; 2) Estimate quality of life and quality of care...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) Federal Grant Program, awarded a $199,375 project grant to Brown University. The project aims to examine whether hospices specializing in long-term care (LTC) settings provide better care to beneficiaries with Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD) compared to non-LTC hospices. Key objectives include: 1) describing individual, facility, and neighborhood-level characteristics associated with receiving care from LTC...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to examine the use of home-based medical care (HBMC) and telemedicine among persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (PLWD) in both public (fee-for-service) and private (Medicare Advantage) Medicare plans. The $2,054,062 award will fund a study to identify national trends in HBMC and telemedicine utilization, and rigorously evaluate their impact on outcomes such as treatment...
