- This $4,444,978 federal Project Grant award, issued by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research program), supports research to characterize cognitive reserve and identify modifiable factors that promote cognitive reserve and resilience to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among older adults in India, with a focus on those who lack formal education. The project aims to: 1) compare brain pathology measures and their contributions to cognition between older...
- This $2,365,042 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on the biological underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The research aims to better characterize the interplay between biological markers of neurodegeneration, vascular, nutritional, and inflammatory systems, and their interface with social and economic factors, by leveraging cross-national comparisons...
- The federal Cooperative Agreement award titled "Bridging Research Infrastructure for Dementia Gaps in East Africa (BRIDGE-AFRICA)" is funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) and will be performed by The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from April 2025 through March 2027. The $558,193 award will build research infrastructure for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) in East Africa, building on UCSF's existing...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $517,593.00 to establish research infrastructure to study Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) in Côte d'Ivoire. The collaboration between Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and École Nationale de Statistiques et d'Economie Appliquée aims to develop data collection and research protocols for the 40+ population in Côte d'Ivoire, as well as build a stakeholder...
- This $788,121 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will support a 5-year cross-sectional, longitudinal, and observational study to investigate the impact of Alzheimer's disease risk genes on brain function in older Black/African American individuals living with HIV. The study aims to better understand the increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in this vulnerable population, which...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $1,550,462 to support a 5-year cross-sectional, longitudinal, and observational study investigating the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk genes, with a focus on APOE E4, on brain function in older Black/African American individuals living with HIV. The project aims to enroll 120 participants with HIV (60 with and 60 without the APOE E4 allele) and 80 demographically...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will provide $344,164 to Northwestern University to develop a training program called "M4: Modules on Advanced Methodology when Modeling Multinational Data." The program will train the next generation of researchers on methodological skills required to analyze data from large-scale studies on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, such as the Health and Retirement Study and its Harmonized...
- This federal Project Grant award of $131,813 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) aims to evaluate the effects of poverty alleviation policies on the risk and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research project, titled "Bridging Social Epidemiology and Policy for ADRD Prevention: Effects of Poverty Alleviation Policies on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Risk and Disparities", will be conducted by the Trustees...
This $215,509 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to develop infrastructure for aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD) research in Botswana. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Leveraging Botswana's 2022 census data to develop a sampling frame and study design for population-based aging and AD/ADRD research in Botswana. This will enable accurate and representative data collection to estimate prevalence and identify risk factors. Adapting and translating the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) for the Botswana context to ensure cultural relevance and linguistic accuracy. This will facilitate cross-national comparisons of aging and dementia research data. The award supports the career development of Dr. Lillian Okui, a research scientist and epidemiologist in Botswana, through training, mentorship, and participation in webinars/conferences related to aging and dementia research. The project is being implemented by the Botswana-University of Maryland School of Medicine Health Initiatives, a non-profit organization registered in Botswana.
