Rutgers The State University of New Jersey's Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RBHS-School of Nursing) received a $431,750 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded May 15, 2026, with a completion date of April 30, 2028. This award funds research investigating the role of Synaptojanin1 (SYNJ1), a synaptic Parkinson's Disease risk gene, in age-dependent motor decline. The project examines whether elevating SYNJ1 levels in dopamine neurons can improve motor performance and increase striatal dopamine transporter surface expression in adult mice, with the ultimate goal of identifying therapeutic targets to address motor impairments associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease. The research will deliver scientific knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying age-related motor decline, specifically the SYNJ1-dopamine transporter signaling axis critical for motor control. Through this two-year project based in Newark, New Jersey, investigators will assess functional SYNJ1 mutants and conduct comparative analyses to elucidate lipid signaling mechanisms relevant to motor function. The deliverables include peer-reviewed research findings, experimental data characterizing SYNJ1's contribution to normal aging processes, and insights into potential intervention strategies for improving motor abilities in older adults—directly advancing the National Institute on Aging's mission to understand aging processes and develop treatments for age-related conditions.Federal Grant Award Summary
