- This Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research, supports a $2,516,316 research initiative led by Harvard Medical School to investigate neuronal activity-responsive DNA repair mechanisms and their contribution to cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease. The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year grant include: Mapping the landscape of activity-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in wild-type mice and...
- This $2,366,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund the INLIFE (Individualized Lifestyle Change for Every Aging Brain) study. The study aims to harmonize and analyze participant-level data from 12 U.S. randomized controlled trials to examine how changes in lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, cognitive activity, diet, and social engagement impact cognitive outcomes across diverse older adult populations....
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Trustees of Boston University, doing business as Boston University Medical Campus, provides $2,330,859.00 in funding to study age-related changes in brain network connectivity and their relationship to cognitive decline. The 3-year project aims to use multimodal neuroimaging, single-cell transcriptomics, electrophysiology, and neural tract-tracing in a rhesus monkey model to delineate how...
- Federal Project Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Trustees of Boston University a $343,350 Project Grant effective February 1, 2026, through January 31, 2031, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). This award supports research to develop and optimize personalized transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) interventions with closed-loop precision modulation to enhance memory performance in aging adults. The research addresses cognitive decline and...
- This Project Grant award of $353,391.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), aims to validate the use of a "Personal Learning Curve" paradigm as a sensitive marker of early memory decline related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in a large, diverse sample of older adults. The study seeks to determine if this digital cognitive assessment tool, which measures learning over repeated evaluations, can detect subtle AD-related memory failures...
- This Project Grant award, totaling $167,940 and issued by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), supports research to elucidate the neuronal mechanisms underlying cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Awarded to Boston Children's Hospital on August 15, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2030, the grant funds investigations into why approximately 10-15% of individuals maintain normal cognition despite high levels of AD pathology. The...
- This $200,310 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health National Institute on Aging will fund research into the differential impact of adverse childhood experiences and aging on brain health. Specifically, the Oklahoma State University grant will pursue two aims: 1) characterize cognitive performance across emerging and older adult cohorts stratified by ACEs, and 2) characterize brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels across the two age...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $2,451,044.00 to investigate the impact of labor force participation and stimulating activities on cognitive aging outcomes across diverse international settings. 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...
