Project Grant R03AG093092
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $440,000 to Northeastern University to conduct a qualitative study exploring the perspectives of racially and ethnically diverse homebound patients with advanced disease on advance care planning (ACP), intensive care services, hospice services, and related topics. The study will analyze audio recordings from a previous NIH-funded trial of a video-based ACP intervention delivered in home...
- This federal Project Grant award of $203,278.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will fund research to understand the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying age-related shifts in motivation and their impact on daily life activity participation in older adults. The research will employ a multilevel, multimodal approach, utilizing behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic assessment methods to...
- This federal Project Grant award of $240,069 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Vanderbilt University will be used to explore the effects of lifestyle on immune system activity and molecular markers of aging across populations with diverse lifestyles, from traditional subsistence-level to highly urban. The research will focus on analyzing three age-associated molecular phenotypes - gene expression, DNA methylation, and telomere length - in peripheral blood...
- This federal Project Grant award of $207,032 was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. The funding will support a comparative analysis of age-related differences in social networks between humans and capuchin monkeys. The research aims to investigate whether cognitive abilities or explore-exploit tendencies account for the observed age-related reductions in social network size in...
- This federal Project Grant award of $441,612 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Trustees of Boston University (Boston University Medical Campus) supports research to evaluate the use of digital cognitive measures, such as digital pen tasks and voice recordings, to monitor early cognitive decline in relation to modifiable Alzheimer's disease risk factors. The project aims to leverage the Framingham Heart Study's longitudinal data on digital cognitive...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will support a $185,074 research study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley. The goal of the study is to examine how brain network connectivity is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, longitudinal pathology accumulation, and aging. The researchers will use positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to investigate the mechanisms of how...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $705,385 to Northeastern University to conduct a large-scale study investigating mediators and moderators of executive function training in older adults. The study aims to improve the rigor and reproducibility of research on cognitive plasticity in older adults, many of whom are at risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study will collect data from 1,250 older adults aged 60+ to...
- This Project Grant award of $328,037 from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a longitudinal mixed methods social network analysis (MMSNA) study of the Cumberland House Reentry Program. The program aims to build social ties and enhance community engagement for older men transitioning from long-term incarceration. The study will collect dynamic sociocentric network data and qualitative data on health and interpersonal relationships to evaluate the...
- This federal Project Grant award, titled "ADRD Risk and Resilience Among Black Americans: A 20-Year Longitudinal Study", is funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $3,177,045 from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2030. The award aims to examine psychosocial risk and protective factors for cognitive functioning among middle-aged and older Black Americans using the National Survey of American Life (NSAL), a nationally representative sample. The first...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $131,813 Project Grant to the Trustees of Boston University (Boston University Medical Campus) on May 1, 2025. The grant aims to evaluate the effects of poverty alleviation policies, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), on the risk and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research will leverage data from the Health and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $171,943 to Boston College to conduct research on how patterns of social engagement change during the final five years of life, and explore the roles of these changes in shaping well-being, quality of life, and end-of-life healthcare for older adults in the United States. The researchers will use longitudinal survey data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study to estimate how personal social networks and participation in social activities change in the last five years of life, and identify how various forms of social engagement are associated with quality of life indicators during this period. The project is expected to run from September 2025 through August 2027.
