This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $663,376 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the heterogeneity of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project aims to identify key genes that mediate the selective vulnerability of brain regions to distinct pathological protein conformers, such as tau and alpha-synuclein, using a novel computational modeling...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $10,847,672 to the J. David Gladstone Institutes, a non-profit biomedical research organization, to investigate the vascular-immune mechanisms underlying cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research aims to elucidate the key microglial mechanisms regulating the formation of vascular CAA versus parenchymal amyloid-beta plaques, define single-cell and...
The National Institute on Aging awarded a $4.6 million Project Grant to Cornell University under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop new imaging techniques for measuring microvascular blood flow in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia models. The award will support the design of an adaptive excitation source for 2-photon and 3-photon fluorescence microscopy to simultaneously measure blood flow speeds in approximately 300 cortical or 50 deep white matter microvessels. This...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), provides $640,906 to the University of Wisconsin - Madison to elucidate the cerebrovascular disease pathways that contribute to cognitive decline. The project aims to utilize advanced neuroimaging techniques to characterize the impact of vascular disease processes, including vascular stiffness and decreased flow tone, on brain tissue integrity and cognition in the presence...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $3,929,011 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct a longitudinal, multimodal neuroimaging study investigating the role of neuronal dysfunction and hyperexcitability in the early biological progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to elucidate the earliest manifestations of neural circuit hyperexcitability that predict the accumulation of tau...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $131,027.00, was provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Leland Stanford Junior University. The award aims to study neuronal proteostasis, the maintenance of protein health, during brain aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key products and services to be delivered under this grant include: Conducting in vivo experiments using a novel bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT)...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) provides $3,845,311 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to investigate the early determinants of Alzheimer's disease (AD) using age-equivalent neurons derived from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. The project aims to better understand the convergence of risk factors, including polygenic variants and biological aging, on molecular pathways that initiate and...
This Project Grant award of $654,910 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the contribution of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) pathologies to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) in older adults. The award supports research at Rush University Medical Center to generate and analyze transcriptomic and proteomic data from white matter tissue samples, complementing existing data from gray matter. This...
This Project Grant award of $372,690 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to discover the heterogeneous causal pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project will develop new statistical methods to uncover how amyloid-beta, tau accumulation, and cognition are causally related in different AD subpopulations. The goal is to reveal optimal treatment windows and target groups for therapies that reduce amyloid-beta or...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $137,895 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) with a project period from December 3, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The grant will fund a study to investigate how brain network connectivity is associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk, longitudinal pathology accumulation, and aging. Specifically, the project will use positron emission tomography (PET)...
