- 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 awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $1.24 million on September 30, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to construct and analyze a novel individual-level database linking health trajectories of older adults to the physical, mental, and economic well-being of their family members across multiple generations, covering 1999 to 2024. The project leverages Census Bureau infrastructure for linking U.S. survey and administrative data to...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California, Los Angeles $623,176 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias among individuals aged 90 and older. The research triangulates evidence across four data sources—the LifeAfter90 Study (1,397 participants, all aged 90), the 90+ Study (1,630 participants, all aged 90), the Health and Retirement Study (3,359...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Northwestern University $1,341,808 on February 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal research on aging-in-place and long-term care decision-making among older adults with Alzheimer's dementia. The research extends a current cohort study (R01AG058777) of 293 older adults with a 94.5 percent retention rate. Northwestern will follow subjects every six months through 42 months with surveys examining how aging-in-place...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $646,340 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to construct and analyze a novel individual-level database linking health trajectories of older adults to the physical, mental, and economic well-being of their family members across multiple generations, covering 1999 to 2024. The recipient will leverage U.S. Census Bureau infrastructure for linking administrative data to examine...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California Irvine $5,101,916 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine daily dynamics of social connection and their influence on physical and cognitive functioning across the adult lifespan. The research uses longitudinal daily diary datasets from the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS), including four waves of diary data across approximately 20 years (beginning in 2002, 2014, and 2023) and two...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Opinion Research Center $2.489 million on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) for a project grant (R01AG102939) titled "NSHAP Caregiver Study — Networks, Experiences, and Health Outcomes Across the Life Course." The recipient will conduct a comprehensive follow-up study of caregivers participating in Round 5 of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project. The project will collect original data...
- 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 awarded The University of Chicago $597,239 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support investigation of inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) utilization and outcomes for older adult patients with and without Alzheimer's disease or other dementias (ADRD). The research examines comparative value and appropriateness of care delivery across post-acute care settings, specifically comparing higher-cost IRF care—which provides acute...
The National Institute on Aging awarded the National Opinion Research Center $380,250 on August 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to expand and enhance a database on exceptional longevity in the United States. The project advances understanding of why some people survive to extreme old age (100+ years) by analyzing early-life, midlife, and late-life predictors of exceptional longevity. The work integrates multiple U.S. data sources accessible through the internet, including Social Security Administration records, Census data, validated genealogies, family reconstitutions, and military draft records. The project will substantially expand an existing family-linked database currently comprising 3,408 identified and validated centenarians along with 4,000 shorter-lived peers born between 1890 and 1897. The prior research phase linked individuals born between 1890 and 1892 to the 1900 and 1930 U.S. Censuses; this phase will incorporate additional records from the 1910, 1920, 1940, and 1950 U.S. Censuses, as well as World War I and World War II draft registration cards. The resulting database will provide a comprehensive view of centenarians' living conditions and enable examination of multivariate effects of education, occupation, income, and other factors on exceptional longevity. The award is a Project Grant (assistance type) with performance in Chicago, Illinois, running through July 31, 2028.
