This $2,288,528 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), aims to improve cross-national measurement of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and characterize its longitudinal course across diverse populations in the U.S., Mexico, and India. The study will harmonize MCI and dementia diagnoses, compare MCI prognosis, and investigate sociodemographic, lifestyle, health, and biological risk factors associated with MCI and dementia across...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to empirically characterize cognitive reserve and identify non-educational factors that promote cognitive reserve and resilience among older adults in India, both with and without formal education. The $4,444,978 award supports a 3-year research project that will utilize data from the Longitudinal Study of Aging in India: Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia (LASI-DAD) to examine how factors such as...
This $839,262 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support a multilevel investigation into the effects of migration on the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among Mexican Americans. Conducted by the Trustees of Columbia University, the study will leverage a unique binational dataset to (1) estimate the impact of migration, US residence, and acculturation on cognitive function and dementia risk, (2) evaluate how...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) program, provides $5,272,845 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate the long-term effects of educational experiences on cognitive health in older adults. The project leverages a natural experiment from the 1950s-60s, the National Defense Education Act (NDEA), to evaluate the causal impacts of K-12 and college educational content and quality on later-life...
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...
This $2,365,042 Project Grant was awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct research on the biological underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The research aims to better characterize the interplay between biological markers of neurodegeneration, vascular, nutritional, and inflammatory systems, and their interface with social and economic factors, by leveraging cross-national comparisons...
This $2,366,213 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging's Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) will fund the INLIFE (Individualized Lifestyle Change for Every Aging Brain) study. The study aims to harmonize and analyze participant-level data from 12 U.S. randomized controlled trials to examine how changes in lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity, cognitive activity, diet, and social engagement impact cognitive outcomes across diverse older adult populations....
This Project Grant award of $4,787,820, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports a research project titled "PREDICT ADRD: PREDICTING THE EFFECTS OF DIAGNOSIS IN INDIVIDUALS ACROSS COUNTRIES AND TIME IN ADRD". The primary goals are to: 1) examine the relationship between cognitive decline and workforce exit for older adults in the U.S., England, and 28 European countries; 2) assess the concordance between survey-based cognitive tests and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $369,654 to Michigan State University to conduct research on the cultural variation in the impact of spousal depressive symptoms on Alzheimer's disease and physical health in middle-aged and older adults. The project aims to leverage data from 39 countries to examine how depressive symptoms in romantic partners influence health and cognition, with the goal of identifying protective factors and...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), is aimed at quantifying the effects of poverty alleviation policies on the risk and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The $131,813 award, with a project period from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027, will enable the principal investigator at the Trustees of Boston University Medical Campus to: 1) integrate Medicare and Health and...
