This will provide the foundation to use minimally-invasive sleep/circadian screening to identify adults at risk for dementia, and ultimately support sleep/circadian-targeted interventions to prevent it.

UH2NS100599 (MPI: Schneider & Arfanakis) 9/1/16- 8/31/21 NIH Multimodal MRI biomarkers of small vessel disease for older persons with and without dementia. Overall goal is to use ex-vivo and in-vivo imaging in a community cohort of older persons with and without dementia to develop an imaging biomarker and test other promising biomarkers of age-related vascular pathologies. R01AG042210 (Schneider) 7/1/12-3/31/17 National Institute of Aging Epidemiologic study of TDP-43 pathology in aging and dementia The major goal of the grant is to test the hypothesis that TDP-43 pathology in the aging brain is a separate disease increases the odds of dementia with a distinct cognitive phenotype, and specific genetic risk factors, separate from AD and other pathologies. P30AG010161 (Bennett) 9/30/91-6/30/16 National Institute on Aging Rush Alzheimer?s Disease Core Center The major goals of this Core Center Grant are to provide core infrastructure support for research on aging/AD. R01AG017917 (Bennett) 9/30/01-3/31/19 National Institute on Aging Epidemiologic Study of Neural Reserve and Neurobiology of Aging The major goal of the continuation of MAP is to discover additional proteins associated with the slope of cognitive decline, after accounting for the effects of common pathologies. RF1AG015819 (Bennett) 7/1/98-6/30/19 National Institute on Aging Risk Factors, Pathology, and Clinical Expressions of AD The overall goal of the proposal is to identify brain proteins and proteoforms linking AD risk genes to AD endophenotypes, i.e., AD pathology and cognitive decline. R01AG036042 (Bennett) 9/15/09-8/31/16 NIA, Roadmap, OBSSR Exploring the Role of the Brain Epigenome: Cognitive Decline and Life Experiences The major goal of the project is to explore the role of DNA methylation in modulating the effect of life experiences on cognition and dementia in older persons. U01AG046152 (Bennett & De Jager) 9/20/13?8/31/18 NIH/NIA Pathway discovery, validation and compound identification for Alzheimer's disease The overall goal of the proposed study is the discovery and preclinical validation of novel targets associated with molecular processes that lead to cognitive decline, the primary outcome of most AD trials. R01AG036836 (De Jager) 9/15/11-8/31/16 National Institute on Aging Exploring the Role of the Brain Transcriptome in Cognitive Decline The major goal is to investigate the transcriptome of human brain tissue to identify molecular pathways that contribute to cognitive decline. K01AG050823 (James) 8/15/15-4/30/20 NIA Cognitive decline after hospitalization in older adults: predictors and pathogenesis The overall goal of this research proposal is to identify prehospital risk factors and hospitalization characteristics that predict accelerated cognitive decline in older persons without dementia and to investigate whether subclinical dementia-related neuropathologies contribute to the development of cognitive decline after hospitalization.
