The National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 – Aging Research) awarded The University of Iowa a $462,341 Project Grant effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2028, to develop and research the Age-Friendly Hospital-to-Home Transition Intervention (ARRIVE-at-Home). The project applies a systems engineering and human-centered design process to integrate evidence-based age-friendly care elements—specifically the 4Ms Framework (addressing what matters to the patient, medications, mobility, and mentation)—into existing hospital-to-home transition interventions. This Stage 0 and 1A research addresses critical gaps in geriatric care delivery by systematically identifying and prioritizing barriers and facilitators to integrating age-friendly care practices that address key safety issues including medication management, fall prevention, cognitive impairment, and depression—factors that contribute to preventable readmissions, mortality, and functional decline in older adult populations. The deliverables from this award include research findings and intervention design specifications that will enhance existing hospital-to-home transition programs with comprehensive geriatric best practices. By combining evidence-based transition structures with age-friendly care principles, the project generates actionable knowledge for healthcare systems seeking to improve clinical and functional outcomes in older adults during the critical discharge-to-home period. The University of Iowa will conduct this research at its Iowa City, Iowa facility, leveraging the institution's substantial research capacity and expertise in health services and aging-related investigations.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
