The University of Connecticut received a $450,928 Project Grant (R21) from the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for May 30, 2028. This award supports secondary data analysis research applying a syndemic framework to characterize how multiple co-occurring health conditions cluster and interact among people living with HIV (PWH) in the United States. The research utilizes the combined Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study/Women's Interagency HIV Study (MACS/WIHS) cohort to identify disease burden phenotypes that accelerate aging and determine the social and structural drivers underlying these patterns. The project deliverables encompass four specific research objectives: characterizing comorbid disease phenotypes among PWH and people without HIV, assessing whether identified phenotypes act synergistically to accelerate aging, determining social and structural factors driving syndemic phenotypes, and providing actionable pathways for targeted interventions to improve aging outcomes. This research addresses a critical gap by integrating multilevel biological and social data to shift focus from individual disease conditions to multimorbidity phenotypes, ultimately generating evidence to guide tailored clinical care and intervention strategies for aging populations with HIV experiencing elevated chronic disease burden.Federal Grant Award Summary
