- This federal Project Grant award of $2,631,670 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a research initiative at The Washington University to investigate age-related deficits in episodic memory. The project aims to determine how aging distinctly affects the content and structure of memory representations, and how this relates to dysfunction in different brain networks based on susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The research will utilize plasma...
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,221,450.00 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports research to define how neuronal hyperexcitability in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) contributes to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related behavioral deficits in mouse models. The research aims to determine the effect of inhibiting RSC layer 5 cells on spatial memory and navigation, as well as when hyperexcitability emerges in these cells across different AD...
- This $2,991,725 Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research into the role of reactive oxygen species as modulators of lifespan and age-related diseases. The 4-year project, which commenced on September 1, 2025, aims to investigate a novel longevity paradigm in C. elegans that is triggered by early-life oxidative stress and mediated by changes in the epigenetic landscape. The research will examine the conserved mechanisms...
- This federal Project Grant award for $528,876, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), supports research to investigate the cis- and trans-genetic regulation of brain transcriptomics and proteomics associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD). The key goals of the project are to: Estimate genome-wide cis- and trans-acting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) effects for transcriptome-wide genes and proteome-wide proteins across 4 brain...
- The federal Project Grant award of $3,642,232.00, awarded on August 5, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to leverage genetics and multi-omic data to identify causal genes, cell types, and molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project, titled "UNRAVELING THE GENETIC BASIS OF MOLECULAR FUNCTIONS IN ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE", will integrate multi-ancestry molecular quantitative trait loci (xQTL) data...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $286,000 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to investigate how age-related lipid dysregulation in brain endothelial cells contributes to cognitive impairment. The research will assess the effects of lipid droplet accumulation on endothelial structure and function, and evaluate how this impacts microvascular aging and cognitive decline. The award was made to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences...
- This federal Project Grant award of $145,566 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) is supporting research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to investigate how the brain accumulates and utilizes "cognitive maps" - internal neural representations that enable flexible behavior and memory recall. The research aims to provide insights into the neuronal coding deficits underlying cognitive decline, with the goal of informing therapeutic...
- This Project Grant award for $446,875 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports research to gain genetic insights into cellular senescence using the Drosophila (fruit fly) brain. The project aims to leverage the powerful genetics of Drosophila to identify key drivers of senescence in neurons and glia, with the goal of modulating senescence onset and mitigating associated age-related brain decline. The award is held by the Trustees of the University of...
- This federal Project Grant award of $203,278.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will fund research to understand the behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms underlying age-related shifts in motivation and their impact on daily life activity participation in older adults. The research will employ a multilevel, multimodal approach, utilizing behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic assessment methods to...
