Project Grant R21AG093550
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Bureau of Economic Research Inc. $427,646 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to trace mid-life mortality of birth cohorts born approximately 1940–1960 in the United States by place, time, and family factors. The research combines large-scale administrative datasets—the Numident, Bureau of the Census Numident Mortality Detail file, and Mortality Linkage Project data, containing more than 3.5 million death...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Bureau of Economic Research $576,783 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to analyze recent evolution and cause-specific drivers of the U.S. mortality crisis by area-level income in comparison with peer countries. The research will address income-driven disparities in U.S. mortality and the country's declining life expectancy relative to peer nations, filling gaps in existing literature that largely excludes...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $132,300 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the relationship between job loss due to layoffs across working years and the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in mid-to-later life. The research leverages longitudinal data from three complementary datasets spanning the working years of the...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $720,523 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to evaluate the impact of integrated dual-eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) on utilization, quality, mortality, and chronic disease management among low-income individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid who qualify for Medicare based on disability. The study addresses a...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $438,625 on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the long-term effects of Hurricane Katrina on the health, well-being, living arrangements, and mortality of older New Orleans residents aged 60 and above. The project uses linked data sources and within-New Orleans comparisons alongside an external counterfactual comparison group to determine whether disaster exposure produces fleeting effects, sustained...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $293,899 for a Project Grant (R21AG098802) on September 4, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds an exploratory research project examining the long-term impacts of hurricanes on primary care provider availability and utilization among Medicare beneficiaries. The research uses difference-in-differences and survival analysis methods applied to over a decade of Medicare claims data...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Rochester $227,250 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate macrophage spatial heterogeneity in regulating hematopoietic aging and inflammation-related stem cell dysfunction. The research examines how resident macrophages in different bone marrow microenvironments regulate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) division symmetry and fitness during aging. Using intravital microscopy and HSC reporter...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Albany Medical College $246,000 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate inter-organelle dynamics during aging in eukaryotic cells. The work will characterize spatial contexts of inter-organelle communication using C. elegans as a model system to identify organellar signatures that develop during aging and proteostasis decline, establishing a platform to understand how aging impacts organelle interactions and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded $1.669 million to American Institutes For Research In The Behavioral Sciences on September 15, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop a comprehensive residential address history for Project Talent participants and geocode addresses to support research on neighborhood characteristics and cognitive health outcomes related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project will identify Project Talent participants in the...
- The National Institute on Aging, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $397,689 to the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (doing business as RFCUNY - Advanced Science Research Center) on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) for Project Grant R01AG103127. The award funds research into pathway-specific vulnerability of dopamine-glutamate neurons in aging and memory. The research examines how dopamine neurons...
The National Institute on Aging awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $452,409 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the association between early-life residential exposure to Home Owners' Loan Corporation mortgage disinvestment in the 1930s and mortality outcomes among the 1930–1940 birth cohort. The research addresses a gap in individual-level analysis of how legal HOLC grading and duration of exposure to HOLC-disinvested neighborhoods correlate with long-term mortality. Prior aggregate-level studies found associations between historical HOLC grade D status and current resident mortality, but most current residents were not exposed to legal HOLC grading when it occurred. The project overcomes a methodological barrier: enumeration districts from the 1940 and 1950 U.S. decennial censuses are not easily mappable. The researchers will create accurate 1940 enumeration district map files for all New York City enumeration districts and new 1950 enumeration district map files for New York City and 1,174 non-New York City counties, linking individuals between the 1940 and 1950 censuses. New York City serves as the pilot study because it was the nation's largest city in 1940. Performance occurs in Albany, New York. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028. This is an exploratory R21 Project Grant, which is not renewable.
