This $834,094 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to advance research on post-stroke cognitive impairment and dementia (PSCID). The funding will support a multi-year effort leveraging a national stroke registry and Medicare data to determine the incidence and prevalence of PSCID, identify associated risk factors, and explore potential pharmacological prevention strategies. Key aspects of the research include a patient-centered approach,...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $343,153 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to measure disparities in life expectancy and cognitively and functionally healthy and unhealthy life years after stroke among Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites. The study will leverage data from the long-running Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project to analyze trends in these outcomes over time. The...
This Project Grant award of $3,177,045 from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports a 20-year longitudinal study examining psychosocial risk and protective factors for cognitive functioning among middle-aged and older Black Americans. The primary awardee, the Regents of the University of Michigan, will re-interview approximately 2,600 participants from the National Survey of American Life to collect longitudinal data on factors influencing cognitive and physical...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) totaling $1,550,751 will support an investigation of the influences of historical, enduring, and contemporary structural racism on racial disparities in cognitive aging, functional decline, and frailty trajectories. The research will leverage data from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) epidemiological cohort study and will involve up to 800 participants tracked...
This $672,437 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program supports the "Advancing Community Connections and Calculating Risk to Optimize Stroke Survivorship (ACROSS)" research project. This project aims to address disparities in stroke outcomes experienced by racially/ethnically minoritized and socioeconomically...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $331,270 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Houston System to study the association between place, stress, and cognitive status among middle-aged and older Black men. The 2-year project aims to leverage data from the Health and Retirement Study and U.S. Census to introduce and evaluate a conceptual model examining how residential environments may impact the relationship between stress and cognitive impairment in...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will investigate the impact of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) on late-life cognition and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) outcomes among Black adults. The $520,040.19 award, effective September 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will leverage three large national panel datasets to evaluate the causal effects of HBCU attendance and proximity, as well as state/federal...
This $1,521,356 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a study to examine cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) as a biomarker for vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) in patients with the rare genetic condition CADASIL. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is the prime awardee, with sub-awards to the Johns Hopkins University, University of Maryland-Baltimore, and Butler Hospital. The study will leverage a...
This Project Grant award of $2,403,545 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders federal grant program (CFDA 93.853), supports research to examine the epigenetic mechanisms linking social determinants of health (SDOH) exposures to vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stroke. The research, titled REACH-EPIVCID, will identify...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $617,687 to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) to build infrastructure for community-engaged research interventions on three neurologic conditions affecting brain health: stroke, vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, and Parkinson's...

This $4.5 million project grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The University of Michigan will examine racial inequities in neurological conditions like vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) and stroke. Leveraging the Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke study cohort of over 30,000 adults, the research aims to determine associations between historical school segregation, lifetime residential racial segregation, and incident VCID and stroke. It will also explore mediating neighborhood and social factors. Subawards totaling $400,000 support statistical and data management expertise from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and its investigators. This state-of-the-art research seeks to identify pathways through which structural racism contributes to VCID and stroke, as well as resilience factors and intervention opportunities.
