The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,193,500 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute to investigate the mechanisms by which transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulate cerebral microcirculation and endothelial function. The research aims to dissect the effects of these transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) techniques on vascular responses and their potential...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $632,334 to the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary to investigate the contributions of vestibular, somatosensory, and visual dysfunction to imbalance and falls in older adults. The research aims to determine how sensory deficits and central processing changes impact standing balance, with a focus on vestibular function. The award will fund a large cohort study using quantitative...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $227,740 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Florida to investigate the effects of transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) as an adjunct therapy to dynamic balance training in older adults with balance and walking deficits. The study aims to assess whether active tsDCS combined with balance training can enhance practice-related gains and retention in balance and walking performance, and whether this is...
This $804,795 Project Grant was awarded on September 18, 2024 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The funding supports a comprehensive research project investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between gait and cognitive function in individuals with subjective cognitive decline and a family history of Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to determine how declines in vestibular system function and...
This $295,000 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports Neurogeneces, Inc., a small business, in developing a machine learning algorithm to assess "brain age" from at-home EEG sleep data. The goal is to provide an objective, interpretable measure of age-adjusted brain function that can facilitate early detection of cognitive decline. Through this Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project, Neurogeneces will...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $1,167,871 to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston, Massachusetts to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS) to improve cognitive and motor function in older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study aims to determine if long-term tDCS can induce sustained improvements in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $407,479 to Senaptec Inc. to develop an in-home sensory training therapy using specialized eyewear ("strobes") to mitigate falls risk among older adults. The project aims to modify the existing strobe design to accommodate prescription lenses and improve functionality in low-light home settings, and to conduct clinical efficacy studies to enable FDA clearance. The goal is to bring this...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $433,125 project grant under CFDA Program 93.866 (Aging Research) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside). The award will fund a 2-year research project to use novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) techniques to characterize age-related neuroinflammation and its relationship to memory performance. Key objectives include: Testing whether older age is associated with higher MRS-derived...
The federal Project Grant award R21NS137987, in the amount of $427,625.00, was provided by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program. The award supports research at the University of Iowa to investigate whether the Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)-evoked potential (TEP) in EEG recordings can serve as a non-invasive measure of cortical excitability during...
This $4.46 million project grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop a new in vivo magnetic resonance imaging biomarker for early detection of Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration. Specifically, the awardee, Washington University, will utilize quantitative gradient recalled echo MRI techniques to identify two types of hippocampal tissue in preclinical and mild...
