The objectives are to determine individual and organizational factors for effectively adapting the CCTI-ADRD program, which provides medication reviews, referrals,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $223,813 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) supports a 2-year cross-sectional and longitudinal study in Nigeria to investigate the use of plasma biomarkers, social determinants of health, and lifestyle factors in classifying and predicting mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease. The study will enroll 264 participants across three cognitive status groups (Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, and healthy...
This federal Project Grant award of $3,240,750 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a 4-year longitudinal study to investigate the influence of interpersonal connectedness between persons with Alzheimer's disease (PWDs) and their spousal caregivers on the early progression of the disease. The study, conducted by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, will recruit 142 urban and rural co-living spousal care dyads where the care recipients are in the early stages of late-onset Alzheimer's. The researchers will collect both laboratory and real-world data on PWD-caregiver connectedness and Alzheimer's disease progression over the 2-year study period. The goal is to determine whether stronger PWD-caregiver connectedness is associated with slower Alzheimer's disease progression, and whether this relationship is moderated by the dyad's connectedness to their local community.
