The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: 1) a system of flexible, breathable, and inconspicuous eutectogel sensor patches...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) Federal Grant Program, awarded a $811,228 Project Grant to B.A. Maze, Inc. on September 25, 2024. The grant will fund the development of the At-Home Health Station (AHS), a plug-and-play modular system designed to simplify digital experiences for individuals with cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The AHS system aims to promote health function and independence through remote patient...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $1,545,208 to the Florida Institute for Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) to conduct a 5-year research study on exercise response heterogeneity in older adults. The project aims to understand the mechanisms driving variability in older adults' responses to combined endurance and resistance training, with a focus on factors related to aging hallmarks like proteostasis, mitochondrial...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $203,278 to Brandeis University to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research will use behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic approaches to understand age-related shifts in motivation and neuromodulation that impact older...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $315,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to The Ohio State University to validate questionnaire-based methods for assessing frailty in older adults who have survived critical illness. The study aims to determine the validity and reliability of patient and surrogate responses on questionnaire-based frailty assessments compared to performance-based assessments. This work is intended to develop improved tools for identifying...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program, awarded Koronis Biomedical Technologies Corporation (KBT) a $1,010,368 project grant to develop and validate a novel interactive gaming platform that facilitates cognitive interventions for individuals living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD), and other related dementias. The proposed system will provide a modular series of short, evidence-based cognitive training...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $713,096 to Minnesota Healthsolutions Corporation to develop an innovative chair with a calibrated pressure-shifting programmable surface. The goal is to prevent and treat pressure injuries in persons living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD). The project will involve testing the effectiveness of the chair in shifting pressure, as well as assessing its acceptability and...
This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
