The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $670,324 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom. The grant, with a period of performance from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will fund research to estimate lifespan for over 70 primate species, test if social factors predict primate longevity, and develop an epigenetic aging clock for multiple macaque species. The project aims to increase availability of...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $109,595 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) to conduct a comprehensive microscopic study of a novel nonhuman primate model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project aims to characterize the regional and laminar patterns of tau-based neuropathology, neuronal loss, synaptic health, and neural circuit functionality within the entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, and neocortical regions of rhesus...
This federal Project Grant award of $418,364 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a comprehensive investigation into the factors associated with lifespan and healthspan across multiple nonhuman primate (NHP) species. The key products and services to be delivered include: Generating the most accurate and comprehensive characterization of sex-specific lifespan and age-at-death distributions for 11 biomedically-relevant NHP species, including analyzing the...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,947,959 project grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to study the effects of cardiovascular health on lifespan, brain function, and age-related diseases in humans and great apes. The research aims to evaluate the impact of aging, cardiovascular disease, and neurovascular health on brain structure and function, identify associations between vascular risk factors and cognitive impairment in great...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $417,856 supports research on understanding variation in primate aging patterns through March 2026. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the award to Stony Brook University will couple a longitudinal dataset on over 100 wild non-human primates with physiology, medical imaging, molecular, and comparative methods. The research aims to identify the trajectory of aging across the life course regarding...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $2,393,539.00 to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to investigate the relationship between immune system aging (immunosenescence), brain aging biomarkers, and cognitive function across non-human primate species with differing lifespans. The project aims to improve understanding of how the immune system's age-related changes impact longevity, neurodegeneration, and...
This Project Grant award of $1,574,518.00 was provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The grant supports a mixed prospective and longitudinal study investigating how variation in the prevalence and resilience to early life adversity shapes the capacity for long lifespan in wild chimpanzees and gorillas. The study aims to determine the causes, severity, and responses to early life adversity within and between these ape populations, and how...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under its Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $380,380 Project Grant to The Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund, doing business as Tulane University, to investigate factors and disparities associated with successful reentry among older adults leaving prison. The project will elicit narratives about health, social, and community factors that impede or facilitate reentry among older adults with health limitations, and adapt...
This $689,525 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to New York University will support research investigating how age-related changes in brain microstructure and cellular composition impact long-range brain network connectivity in rhesus macaques. The primary objectives are to map the links between cellular-level microstructural signatures and larger-scale structural brain networks, and to examine how these network-microstructure relationships...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $184,647 supports research on understanding variation in patterns of aging in primates through an integrative comparative approach. Funded under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), the three-year award to Arizona State University will analyze biological aging trajectories and individual differences across the lifespan using a longitudinal dataset of over 100 wild-living non-human primates. Key products include...
