This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will fund a study on the cumulative demographic and health effects of climate exposures across the life course in Indonesia and Mexico. The $171,498 award, effective September 20, 2024 through August 31, 2026, will enable researchers at the Pennsylvania State University to analyze how temperature and precipitation anomalies during critical life stages (early childhood, adolescence, early adulthood)...
This $2,107,715 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Regents of the University of Michigan aims to determine the extent to which exposure to hurricanes affects mortality among older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project will: 1) Examine all-cause mortality following hurricane exposure and identify associated causes of death among the ADRD population; 2) Determine the living environments...
This $199,998 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) aims to advance the understanding of the disproportionate impacts of cascading flood events on vulnerable populations, particularly individuals with disabilities. The primary activities include engaging community partners, conducting stakeholder interviews and community listening tours, assessing the feasibility of existing and emerging flood resilience solutions, and mapping the...
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...
The University of Washington received a $760,779 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to conduct a geographically granular assessment of the present and future impacts of extreme temperature on aging populations in the United States by race and ethnicity. The 5-year research project, beginning January 1, 2025, aims to estimate the burden of extreme temperature, understand how risk factors modify the effects, and assess the potential for risk...
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (CFDA 93.433) program to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY).

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...
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 lead awardee is The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. The project aims to evaluate cross-country differences in labor force participation, engagement in stimulating activities, and their relationships with...
This $12,847,914 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) is supporting a comprehensive study titled "P-CARRS-BRAIN: Multi-Domain (Genetic, Socio-Behavioral, Vascular) Risk Factors and Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease Continuum in South Asians in India." The award is being led by Emory University and leverages the NHLBI-funded Precision-CARRS cohort to investigate preclinical Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in...

This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research provides $413,476 to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research on the acquisition of disability and chronic morbidity by older Indians following extreme urban coastal flooding events. The study aims to: (1) estimate the impact of these extreme flooding events on disability and chronic disease in the urban older population in India; (2) analyze changes in housing, living arrangements, mobility, and kin proximity associated with the flooding; and (3) determine how these changes contributed to the acquisition of disability and chronic conditions. The research leverages pre- and post-flood data from the India Human Development Survey panel to perform a decomposition analysis informed by a social vulnerability theoretical framework. The findings are expected to have broader applicability for understanding threats to elder health and wellbeing from extreme climate events globally. The award period runs from September 2024 through May 2026.
