Project Grant RF1AG085457
- The Project Grant titled "The Role of Neighborhood Social Exposome Dynamics in Risk and Resilience to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias" was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under CFDA Program 93.866 - Aging Research. The $3,039,714 grant, with a performance period from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2029, will investigate the pathways between 30 years of neighborhood-level social exposome change, individual modifiable Alzheimer's disease and related...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $713,723.32 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. The award, effective from February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2028, will support research on the influence of neighborhood characteristics, both objective and subjective, as well as GPS-based personal activity space measures, on cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), and...
- This Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research totaling $4,188,512 to the University of California, Davis from September 2022 through August 2025. The grant is part of the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), which supports biomedical, social, and behavioral research on aging processes and diseases affecting older populations. Specifically, the University of California, Davis will investigate the hypothesis that ultrafine particulate...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), under the Environmental Health federal grant program (CFDA 93.113), awarded a $777,041 Project Grant to the University of Miami to investigate the impact of urban heat island exposure on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) outcomes among older adults in South Florida. The 5-year study aims to: (1) examine the association between recent urban heat island exposure and cognitive function, (2) determine if cumulative...
- This $3,264,260 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) aims to determine whether olfactory impairment caused by exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) pollution is a causal factor in the development of late-onset dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. The award will fund a comprehensive research project conducted by the University of Maryland, Baltimore to investigate the role of the cGAS/STING/IKK2/NF-κB inflammatory...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $4,055,366 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Southern California (USC). The grant, awarded on September 15, 2025, aims to investigate the impact of exposure to endocrine-disrupting persistent organic pollutants during the menopausal transition on cognition, brain activity, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers. The project...
- The University of Washington received a $760,779 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to conduct a geographically granular assessment of the present and future impacts of extreme temperature on aging populations in the United States by race and ethnicity. The 5-year research project, beginning January 1, 2025, aims to estimate the burden of extreme temperature, understand how risk factors modify the effects, and assess the potential for risk...
- This $3,424,229 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) on September 15, 2025 to the University of California, Davis (UC Davis). The grant will fund a 4-year research project to develop mobile assessments of social health, delineate the short-term cognitive impacts of daily social dynamics, and generate computational models to account for individual differences in Alzheimer's disease and related dementia pathogenesis. The research aims to...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $167,940 project grant to The Children's Hospital Corporation (Boston Children's Hospital) to elucidate the neuronal mechanisms underlying cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease. The project, awarded on August 15, 2025, aims to (1) determine if the MEF2 transcription factors mediate survival of specific neuronal subtypes vulnerable to Alzheimer's pathology, (2) assess whether...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $2,151,314 Project Grant to the University of Missouri System under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on the effects of fine particulate matter (PM) exposure on small cerebrovascular inflammation and cognitive dysfunction. The 3-year project aims to investigate how PM exposure induces sex-specific inflammatory responses mediated by TNF-alpha in males and IL-6 in females, leading to cognitive impairment. The research...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), will fund a research project to investigate how environmental exposures such as temperature, greenspace, and the built environment influence cognitive function and dementia risk. The $5,164,012 award to the University of California, Davis will support a study using data from the Nurses' Health Study II and Rush University cohorts to estimate the links between GPS-based environmental exposures and repeated smartphone-based cognitive tests, as well as how long-term residence-based exposures are associated with cognitive decline and dementia incidence. The project will run from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2029.
