- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $1,494,457 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 15, 2025, to conduct research on Complex III-derived reactive oxygen species in mitochondrial-nuclear crosstalk in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The research uses live-cell redox imaging, site-selective mitochondrial reactive oxygen species suppressors, targeted genetic manipulations, molecular profiling, and preclinical testing...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $438,625 on April 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the long-term effects of Hurricane Katrina on the health, well-being, living arrangements, and mortality of older New Orleans residents aged 60 and above. The project uses linked data sources and within-New Orleans comparisons alongside an external counterfactual comparison group to determine whether disaster exposure produces fleeting effects, sustained...
- The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $471,196 to Aurora Health Care, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Environmental Health program (CFDA 93.113) to examine how weather-related barriers affect primary care utilization in older adults with chronic conditions. The recipient will quantify the impact of inclement weather—including extreme temperatures, high heat index, and heavy...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $720,523 on June 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to evaluate the impact of integrated dual-eligible special needs plans (D-SNPs) on utilization, quality, mortality, and chronic disease management among low-income individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid who qualify for Medicare based on disability. The study addresses a...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $335,000 to Yale University to conduct a retrospective cohort study investigating nursing home emergency preparedness and its impact on resident health outcomes following exposure to Hurricane Michael in 2018. The study aims to identify critical deficiencies in federal emergency preparedness standards that are most predictive of adverse post-disaster outcomes, as well as evaluate whether...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $172,260 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to characterize the relationship between electroencephalographic burst-suppression and postoperative delirium in the context of corticothalamic function. The recipient will investigate biomarkers for postoperative delirium, a neurocognitive disturbance...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $4.217 million on August 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop inhibitors of mitochondrial complex III-derived reactive oxygen species for Alzheimer's disease treatment. The recipient will optimize suppressors of electron leak (SELs)—specifically S3QELs (sequels), which selectively suppress reactive oxygen species production by respiratory complex III—as first-in-class therapeutics...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $698,599 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to build ACLINK, a privacy-preserving linked dataset connecting Adult Protective Services records with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services claims data for research on healthcare utilization among older adults experiencing elder mistreatment and self-neglect. The project creates research infrastructure by linking APS investigative...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $674,088 to The General Hospital Corporation (doing business as Massachusetts General Hospital) on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate how environmental and psychosocial exposures shape Alzheimer's disease and related dementias outcomes. The project introduces a novel exposome-health outcomes framework tailored to real-world data, particularly Medicare...
The National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University $4,048,745 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the long-term health effects of extreme weather events on post-acute care patients with Alzheimer's dementia and related dementias in skilled nursing facilities. The recipient will conduct quantitative and qualitative research across three aims. Aim 1 examines the impact of extreme weather events including hurricanes, severe storms, tornadoes, and wildfires on long-term health outcomes in skilled nursing facility-based post-acute care. Aim 2 measures cost and utilization patterns for Medicare beneficiaries receiving skilled nursing facility-based post-acute care across different types of extreme weather events. Aim 3 explores skilled nursing facility disaster-related challenges specifically for patients with Alzheimer's dementia and related dementias across multiple events and geographies. The research uses nationwide Medicare claims data merged with spatiotemporal extreme weather exposure data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for 2011–2022, supplemented by semi-structured interviews with skilled nursing facility administrators and disaster emergency managers. Performance occurs at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, New York. The award period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030.
