- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $650,872 Project Grant to The Johns Hopkins University to investigate the bioenergetic, physiological, and gait mechanics mechanisms that contribute to the high energetic cost of walking in older adults. The 5-year project, which began on August 15, 2025, will use clinical, laboratory, and sensor-based assessments to detect changes in health and mobility consistent with the onset and...
- This Project Grant award of $673,012 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research to understand the neuromechanical bases for the increased energy cost of walking in aging. The University of Massachusetts is the primary awardee, with the goal of determining how age-related changes in gait strategy combine with muscle weaknesses to increase the energy cost of walking in older adults. The research will address key knowledge gaps regarding relative...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Kennesaw State University provides $856,382 to quantify the relationship between daily step counts, body composition, and cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight/obese adults across different age groups. The study aims to develop a regression model that can be used to prescribe physical activity, measured as daily step counts, to predictably improve body composition and reduce cardiometabolic...
- This $423,147 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Emory University will fund research to understand the effects of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) on gait function and locomotor flexibility. The project will compare split-belt treadmill adaptation, gait performance, and cognitive function between healthy older adults, those with MCI, and those with AD. Longitudinal assessments will track disease...
- This $485,375 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support the development and evaluation of a 3D engineered muscle tissue model to study the metabolic response to muscle contraction in the context of aging. The University of Washington, a prominent research institution, will lead this 2-year project to: 1) examine the mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the decreased metabolic response to muscle contraction in aged human 3D engineered...
- This Project Grant award of $499,943 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), supports the development of a novel, unobtrusive device by Aster Labs, Inc. to continuously measure and analyze gait patterns in older Black adults as an early indicator of health decline from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The device aims to provide medical professionals and caregivers with remote access to these insights to help...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $333,125 Project Grant under the Aging Research (CFDA 93.866) federal grant program to George Washington University. The grant, which runs from September 17, 2024 to August 31, 2025, will fund the development and validation of artificial intelligence algorithms to predict body composition and physical function in older adults using low-cost 3D optical body scanning technology. The research aims to provide accessible and scalable methods to assess...
