- This $4,765,698 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a research study by the University of California, Santa Barbara to investigate the effects of endocrine aging on spatial navigation ability and its neuronal systems. The project will enroll 240 cognitively normal midlife adults, with a balanced distribution of pre-, peri-, and post-menopausal women, and use immersive virtual environments and brain imaging to elucidate how...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,558,726 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to the University of Pittsburgh. The grant, titled "MENOBRAIN: A Longitudinal Investigation of Menopause and Brain Health," will conduct a 5-year study to elucidate the brain and cognitive changes that occur during the perimenopause phase of the menopause transition, and the factors contributing to these changes. The study will recruit 224 women in the late...
- 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), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $1,083,046 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The Johns Hopkins University. The grant, running from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027, will support the development of novel adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) to selectively manipulate oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the central nervous system. The project aims to test the hypothesis that reactive...
- 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...
- This $4,260,300 project grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging will fund research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate the association between in utero environmental exposures and life-course cognition and prodromal Alzheimer's disease in midlife. The Public Health Institute will leverage existing data and biospecimens from the 50+ year follow up of the Child Health and Development Studies birth cohort to conduct targeted and...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $344,164 project grant to Northwestern University to develop "M4: Modules on Advanced Methodology When Modeling Multinational Data." The primary objectives are to: 1) create a training program in large-scale data analysis for the next generation of researchers, 2) instruct trainees on protective behavioral and social factors related to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias...
- 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...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $131,813 Project Grant to the Trustees of Boston University (Boston University Medical Campus) on May 1, 2025. The grant aims to evaluate the effects of poverty alleviation policies, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), on the risk and disparities of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research will leverage data from the Health and...
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 seeks to enhance understanding of potentially modifiable factors that may contribute to increased AD risk and the causes of sex-based disparities in the disease. The research will leverage advanced toxicological and steroid hormone assay techniques to test how environmental exposures during a critical life stage may affect cognition, brain function, and AD-related biomarkers in women.
