Project Grant RF1AG097599
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke awarded Trustees of Boston University $649,800 on May 7, 2026, to investigate the impact of social isolation, loneliness, and social support on vascular brain injury, stroke risk, and post-stroke outcomes. The research will use two large prospective population-based cohorts—the Framingham Heart Study, with over 75 years of lifespan data and detailed post-stroke follow-up, and the UK Biobank, with questionnaire-based measures of social...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Arizona State University $1,249,351 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine day-to-day fluctuations in loneliness and their relationship to biological and functional aging outcomes across multiple timescales. The research will identify patterns of daily loneliness—average daily loneliness, loneliness volatility (day-to-day fluctuations), and loneliness reactivity to daily triggers—and map how these patterns predict...
- The National Institute on Aging, a component of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $819,959 to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco on September 3, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to support research on end-of-life isolation among older adults. The project, titled "Dying Alone: Understanding and Addressing End-of-Life Isolation Among Older Adults," addresses the clinical and public health...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded Columbia University's Health Sciences Division a Project Grant of $3.27 million under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2029. This research project will conduct an empirical investigation of dyadic health consequences following acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, examining how distress experienced by both patients and their partners influences health behaviors,...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $3.053 million on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal research on caregiving networks and their consequences among adults ages 85 and older. The award funds the ARIC CARES study, embedded within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study cohort. The research will characterize care ecosystems and relational coordination (teamwork) among family caregivers, paid caregivers, and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of California Irvine $5,101,916 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine daily dynamics of social connection and their influence on physical and cognitive functioning across the adult lifespan. The research uses longitudinal daily diary datasets from the Midlife in the United States Study (MIDUS), including four waves of diary data across approximately 20 years (beginning in 2002, 2014, and 2023) and two...
- The National Institute on Aging, under the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $467,181 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The award funds research investigating how a life history of physical trauma contributes to aging and markers of aging, including inflammatory response and epigenetic markers, using African killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) as a model organism. The research will...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $511,574 on July 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop statistical methods for precision health management in high-risk Alzheimer's disease populations. The recipient will conduct three integrated research activities. Aim 1 involves evidence synthesis through semi-automated systematic review and meta-analyses of published studies to synthesize evidence on prognostic...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Maryland, Baltimore $649,688 on May 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to develop microinstrumented cortical organoid therapy for chronic stroke treatment. The award funds research on brain organoid transplantation combined with flexible bioelectronic monitoring to enable real-time electrophysiology and intravital multiphoton imaging of implanted organoids in stroke-damaged adult brain tissue. Current stroke...
- The National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $132,300 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York on July 15, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the relationship between job loss due to layoffs across working years and the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in mid-to-later life. The research leverages longitudinal data from three complementary datasets spanning the working years of the...
The National Institute on Aging awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $3.356 million on September 2, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify distinct multidimensional risk profiles for loneliness in stroke survivors during the first year after stroke. The research will examine how risk factors cluster across individual, interpersonal, and community levels to create distinct loneliness profiles among stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) survivors—a population at elevated risk for both loneliness and future cardiovascular disease events. The study will recruit a representative sample of 1,000 stroke and TIA survivors and collect data at hospital discharge and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-discharge, assessing baseline individual-level factors including stroke diagnosis and severity, physical disability, cognitive and language impairment, depressive symptoms, and social and economic risk status, alongside interpersonal factors such as partner and caregiver status. The research is informed by a socioecological framework and aims to identify four to five distinct risk profiles that can inform the development of tailored interventions for this priority population. Work is performed in New York, New York. The period of performance extends from September 2, 2026, through August 31, 2030. This is a Project Grant, a form of assistance funding under the National Institute on Aging's mission to support biomedical and behavioral research on aging and age-related conditions.
