This Project Grant award of $319,000 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Brown University aims to identify the rate of normative cognitive aging in adults and determine how much faster cognitive aging occurs in individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Specifically, the project will use data from the Children of the Depression (CODA) cohort of the Health and Retirement Study to establish a latent variable estimate of general cognitive...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $608,731 to Brown University to conduct research on the impact of Medicare and Medicaid financial policies on post-acute and long-term care for persons living with dementia. The project will leverage 15 years of Medicare claims and clinical assessment data to examine how changes in healthcare financing have affected long-term care utilization and health outcomes for the 6.7 million...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (Aging Research, CFDA 93.866) provides $4,027,679 to Boston University Medical Campus (Trustees of Boston University) to develop a digital cognitive health resource based on the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (BU ADRC) cohort. The project aims to collect longitudinal digital cognitive metrics, assess their relationship with vascular risk factors and neuroanatomic measures, and build machine learning...
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 Federal Project Grant award of $319,000 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Brown University will examine rural-urban disparities in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias across the United States. The key products or services to be delivered under this 2-year award include: Producing novel and robust estimates of dementia prevalence in rural and urban areas of the U.S. Characterizing the types of rural places and people most affected by dementia. The...
This $287,118 Project Grant was awarded on September 1, 2023 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) grant program. The grant will fund the development of techniques to use deep transfer learning and multimodal data, including brain MRIs, genetic information, and cognitive tests, to enable the early detection and forecasting of Alzheimer's disease progression. The University of Massachusetts (UMass), as the prime awardee, will create an end-to-end...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Brandeis University will conduct research to understand the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The $148,568 award, running from November 2024 to January 2026, will employ a multilevel, multimodal approach using behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic methods. Key...
This $107,948 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to enhance understanding of the biological signatures that distinguish subgroups of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key goals are to: Determine if AD subtypes can be identified solely using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived features through the application of machine learning algorithms. Integrate epigenetic profiles, including small non-coding RNA expression and DNA...
This federal Project Grant award of $2,557,260 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a study to investigate the early transition to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) among Black and White adults in their 60s. The study will leverage the long-running Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) cohort to examine how early-life risk factors, neurodegeneration, and vascular pathways influence this critical transition window. It...
This $778,551 Project Grant from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a research project conducted by The RAND Corporation to address disparities in undiagnosed and misdiagnosed dementia and the impact on healthcare utilization and costs. The project aims to: 1) Derive a novel probabilistic Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementia (AD/ADRD) classification method using Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and Medicare data to document the...
