This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310), will provide $10,000,000 to Colorado State University over a 5-year period starting on September 4, 2024. The project aims to characterize early cognitive development in young children with Down syndrome, with a focus on understanding the origins of severe or profound intellectual disability (S/PID). The research will involve comprehensive...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Kennesaw State University provides $856,382 to quantify the relationship between daily step counts, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese adults aged 20-39, 40-59, 60-79, and 80+ years old. The key objectives are to: 1) develop a regression model linking daily step counts per kg of fat mass to body composition and cardiometabolic risk profiles, and 2) evaluate...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310). The award, titled "Advancing the Lives & Health of Youth and Young Adults with Down Syndrome (ALLY-DS)", provides $2,598,199 in funding to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. The project aims to establish a diverse cohort of individuals with Down syndrome to undergo comprehensive longitudinal...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $596,250 to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to develop a smartphone-based hand grip strength (HGS) measurement solution. The goal is to create a mobile dynamometer app that patients, including older adults, can use at home to track changes in HGS during the preoperative period for elective cardiac surgery. This is intended to enable early detection of physical frailty, a...
The University of Wisconsin System received a $2,800,027 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to conduct a 5-year longitudinal study on "Metabolic Health, Lifestyle, and Risk of Co-Occurring Health Conditions in Down Syndrome (MET-DS)". The study aims to deeply characterize metabolic health, obesity, and lifestyle factors in 200 children, adolescents, and young adults...
