Brown University received a $438,625 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2028. This research project examines the long-term health, well-being, and mortality outcomes among older New Orleans residents aged 60 and above in the years following Hurricane Katrina. The project leverages a newly developed linked data source to conduct medium- and long-run epidemiological analysis, employing within-city comparisons and external counterfactual comparison groups to assess disaster exposure effects on living arrangements, well-being indicators, and mortality patterns among the elderly population. The primary deliverables include empirical research findings addressing whether Hurricane Katrina's effects on older adults are temporary or produce sustained long-term health consequences. This research addresses a significant gap in the disaster health literature, which has historically focused on immediate post-disaster outcomes while providing limited population-level data on individual outcomes among elderly populations during subsequent recovery years. The project contributes to the National Institute on Aging's mission to support biomedical and behavioral research on aging-related health disparities and informs policy development for mitigating long-term disaster impacts on vulnerable aging populations.Federal Grant Award Summary
