Project Grant R03AG095718
- The University of Pittsburgh received a $801,268 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The objective of this 5-year award, with a start date of June 1, 2025, is to develop an effective evidence-based approach to providing value-based perioperative care in high-risk elderly surgical patients. The project aims to improve prediction and prevention of postoperative mortality, delirium, cognitive decline, and other...
- This $2,356,117 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to improve the perioperative management of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The primary objectives are to: (1) identify the extent to which surgical patients with these conditions are at increased risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, and (2) estimate the association between various perioperative interventions and the incidence...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $705,726 to New York University School of Medicine to conduct a multi-center feasibility randomized clinical trial on the use of monitored anesthesia care with soft-tissue infiltration of local anesthesia (MAC-STILA) for older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The trial aims to assess the feasibility of randomizing patients to MAC-STILA versus the current standard of general...
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $287,218.16 in funding to the University of Maryland, Baltimore from August 1, 2021 through March 27, 2022. The award supports research aimed at better understanding the impact of aging on muscle excitability and action potential conduction velocity. Specifically, the recipient will use electrophysiology techniques and optical imaging to examine...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $427,625.00 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore to assess the risk of multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) transmission from resident care activities in nursing homes. The key objectives are to: 1) Quantify the risk of MDRO transmission from resident care activities in 50 MDRO-colonized short-stay and long-stay nursing home residents, and 2) Compare that to...
- This $4,449,044 National Institute on Aging project grant will support the development of statistical models and biomarkers linking cognitive and physical decline to dementia and disability onset. Funded under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), the University of Maryland, Baltimore will analyze data from over 11,000 older adults in eight cohorts. Researchers will test relationships between biomarkers of aging and longitudinal cognitive-physical decline as well as time to joint...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $299,428 Project Grant to WNT Scientific LLC to develop an innovative medical device to treat nonunion fractures in older adults. The device is a biodegradable, controlled-release material designed to promote fracture healing by stimulating angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), which is impaired in elderly patients due to chronic inflammation. The awarded project aims to commercialize this...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $161,500.00 to investigate the role of perineuronal nets (PNN) in the development of postoperative delirium in aged mice. The research aims to test the hypothesis that changes in PNN and parvalbumin-positive neurons coincide with delirium-like cognitive impairment in aged mice subjected to anesthesia, surgery, and intensive care unit (ICU)-like conditions. The project will also examine whether...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $393,750 project grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to The Ohio State University on August 15, 2025. The grant supports research to determine if geriatric fracture patients have altered macrophage polarization and an imbalanced inflammatory response compared to young patients, which may contribute to impaired fracture healing in the elderly. The project...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $463,318 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) with a project period of September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2027. The grant funds the "Center for Seniors Uniting Nationwide to Support Health, Integrated Care, and Economics (SUNSHINE)" which focuses on advancing aging resilience by integrating healthcare systems, public health organizations, social services, and...
The University of Maryland, Baltimore was awarded a $388,750 project grant from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to evaluate the association of peripheral nerve blocks with postoperative outcomes in older adults undergoing hip fracture surgery. The key objectives of the study are to: 1) Assess the impact of peripheral nerve blocks on in-hospital postoperative outcomes, 2) Evaluate the effect of peripheral nerve blocks on 90-day hospital readmission rates, and 3) Identify differential effects across specific subgroups of older hip fracture patients. The project will leverage the Premier Healthcare Database to conduct a large-scale retrospective cohort study and aims to provide robust evidence on the long-term benefits of peripheral nerve blocks beyond acute pain management for this high-risk patient population. The award period runs from August 15, 2025 to July 31, 2027.
