The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $661,016 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Southern California (USC) to develop a "Federated Deep Learning to Accelerate Alzheimer's Disease Research" platform. This project aims to leverage innovative artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and distributed computing to analyze Alzheimer's disease (AD) biobanks from the U.S., India, Japan, and Europe, totaling over 100,000 MRI and PET scans. The key...
This federal Project Grant award, identified as R01AG087513, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The $622,401 grant aims to elucidate the causal sequence of brain biomarker changes leading to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), as well as identify modifiable lifestyle factors that may resist or delay disease onset. The project has three key objectives: 1) Develop novel deep learning models to predict cerebrospinal...
The University of Southern California has been awarded a $594,041 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to conduct a comprehensive study measuring phosphorylated tau species (p-tau217) in plasma samples from the Health and Aging Brain Study-Health Disparities (HABS-HD) cohort. The project aims to determine the utility of plasma biomarkers, including p-tau217 and amyloid-beta (Aβ42/40 ratio), in predicting amyloid positivity on PET scans among Hispanic,...
This $4,361,625 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund a collaborative research initiative led by Washington University in St. Louis to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and its vascular contributions to dementia (VCID). The project leverages three key resources: a large collection of cerebrospinal fluid samples, human brain tissue specimens, and advanced neuroimaging...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $790,491 to The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) to develop and validate novel, computerized methods for quantifying cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) markers from brain MRI scans. The goal is to integrate these SVD biomarkers into Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohorts to better assess the contribution of vascular pathology to Alzheimer's...
This Project Grant award of $4,692,540.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research at Northwestern University to develop advanced MRI techniques to directly assess cerebral microvascular pulsatility on widely available 3T MRI systems. The goal is to further the understanding of how cerebral microvessel dysfunction may contribute to cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and provide a clinically useful novel diagnostic technology. The research will...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $5,272,845 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Southern California (USC) with a period of performance from August 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029. The grant aims to evaluate the causal effects of specific K-12 and college educational experiences, particularly in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM), and foreign language, on the cognitive health and aging of older adults. The study will leverage a natural...
The University of Southern California (USC) was awarded a $826,222 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to study the role of the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway in neuroinflammation and Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. The key objectives are to: 1) investigate how cGAS-STING modulates neuroinflammation in cellular models and animal studies; 2) assess the impact of herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) infection on the cGAS-STING pathway and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $769,710 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research examining the impact of socioeconomic mobility opportunities during adolescence on the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors in young adulthood. The study will leverage the existing Reducing Inequities through Social and Educational Change Follow-up (RISE-UP) cohort to assess how mobility...
This $2,365,042 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research Program (CFDA 93.866) supports research to better understand the biological underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The primary objectives are to leverage cross-national data from the U.S. and India to evaluate associations between neurodegenerative biomarkers, cognitive outcomes, and socioeconomic factors. Key project activities include developing harmonized measures for...
