- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Houston System $727,093 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop a community-engaged translational research network advancing Spanish-language neuropsychological assessment tools for cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease research. The project, titled "Development of a Community Engaged Translational Research Network to Advance Spanish-Language Neuropsychological Assessment in Cognitive Aging...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Miami University $144,500 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine social factors that influence caregiver inclusion in older adult clinical appointments and identify which approaches to caregiver involvement produce optimal health outcomes. The project applies a person-centered analytic methodology to nationally representative data, conducting stage 0 activities under the NIH Stage Model to characterize social...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Washington University $746,009 on August 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a Stage III randomized controlled trial of Peer Caregiver Navigation (PCN), a paraprofessional peer-delivered intervention designed to reduce anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and perceived stress among family caregivers of persons living with Alzheimer's disease. The study will enroll 466 Alzheimer's disease caregivers randomly assigned...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,928,657 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the Regents of the University of Michigan, doing business as the University of Michigan. The 3-year project aims to develop and evaluate new measures of family availability to provide care for people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The study will leverage national survey data to: 1) Create sub-indices and a composite measure of...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The University of Chicago $597,239 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support investigation of inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) utilization and outcomes for older adult patients with and without Alzheimer's disease or other dementias (ADRD). The research examines comparative value and appropriateness of care delivery across post-acute care settings, specifically comparing higher-cost IRF care—which provides acute...
The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston $312,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to revise and validate the Caregiver-Provider Relationship Assessment (CPRA), a measurement tool designed to evaluate interactions between family caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and healthcare providers. The project will develop a psychometrically validated revision of the CPRA using only positively worded items to eliminate systematic bias introduced by negatively worded items in the original instrument. The recipient will recruit 175 English-speaking family caregivers to complete both the original CPRA and the revised version (CPRAR), then evaluate the revised scale using Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis to compare construct validity, internal consistency, and convergent and discriminant validity. A second aim assesses measurement invariance and differential item functioning of the CPRAR across sex and racial/ethnic subgroups through multi-group confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory modeling. The award runs through August 31, 2028, with place of performance at Houston, Texas. The project yields a measurement tool intended to improve caregiver-provider relationship assessment in dementia caregiving research and inform intervention design.
