Project Grant RF1AG096686
- This $562,314 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) supports a 3-year study to identify risk and protective factors associated with psychosocial resilience in spousal caregivers for spouses with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study leverages data from several large, longitudinal cohort studies, including the Health and Retirement Study, to examine how caregivers' well-being, mental health, and cognitive...
- 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...
- This federal Project Grant award of $2,709,669 from the National Institute on Aging (Aging Research, CFDA 93.866) aims to provide rigorous evidence on the outcomes of home-based versus facility-based care for older patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The research strategy will leverage differences in the influence of physical therapists on discharge destination as a "randomizing device" to compare outcomes across almost 100 VA hospitals. This novel...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $131,568 and provided by the National Institute on Aging under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), aims to investigate the impact of an improvisation music therapy intervention on reducing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in persons living with dementia (PLWD) and decreasing stress/burden in their caregivers. The proposed research project will: 1) standardize an improvisation music therapy intervention prototype for the...
- This $3,687,278 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to optimize the validity of comparative effectiveness research in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias using large language models. The grant supports research at Brigham & Women's Hospital, a subsidiary of the Partners Healthcare System, to build novel large language models that can extract clinically relevant phenotypes from electronic health record data. This will...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded a $539,635 Project Grant under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to The RAND Corporation to develop a family-based macro-simulation model examining the supply and demand of care for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to simulate individual- and family-level economic and well-being outcomes based on the factors influencing ADRD caregiving, including care needs, caregiver availability, and the cost of formal care. The...
- This federal Project Grant award, valued at $422,319 and awarded by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research), aims to identify key factors for adapting and implementing a Community Care Transition Initiative (CCTI) for rural older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their care partners. 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 $459,250.00 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) is focused on investigating the impact of stress and resilience on the longitudinal trajectories of Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related brain pathology and cognitive function. The research aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which stress may predispose individuals to long-term cognitive changes and the development of AD. The awardee, The General Hospital...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $3,273,481 project grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division, effective September 1, 2025 with a completion date of August 31, 2029. The grant supports a study to empirically evaluate the impact of couples' distress early after evaluation for acute cardiovascular disease on dyadic health outcomes and to estimate the progression of...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $320,000 Project Grant under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) to Northwestern University. The purpose of this 2-year grant, with a start date of September 1, 2025, is to conduct a study to understand participant perspectives on respite care (adult day services) uptake among caregivers of adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study aims to explore...
This federal Project Grant award of $3,379,666 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and durability of a new dyadic resiliency program called "Resilient Together-YOD (RT-YOD)" for persons with young-onset dementia (YOD) and their care partners. The award will allow the research team at the Massachusetts General Hospital to conduct the NIH Stage 2 RCT of RT-YOD versus a health enhancement program control, with 194 dyads, to measure the impact on emotional distress (primary outcome) and quality of life. The study will also examine potential mechanisms of improvement and relevant moderating factors. This project builds upon the team's prior feasibility work developing and piloting the RT-YOD program, which draws on an evidence-based dyadic program for acute brain injury.
