Current: 1R01AG051170 (PI: Jones) 09/15/15-05/31/20 0.24 Calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NIA $50,026 Psychometric Integrative Technology for Cognitive Health Research The goal of the project is to harmonize brief cognitive assessments across diverse international samples and advise on the optimal measures for harmonized cross-national cohorts sponsored. 1RF1AG052132 (mPI: Whitmer/Mungas/DeCarli/Glymour) 06/01/16-05/31/21 0.12 Calendar NIH/NIA $61,194 Lifecourse health, cerebral pathology, and ethnic disparities in dementia This project will establish a cohort of African American, Latino, Asian, and non-Latino white older adults from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California membership, enrolling participants in the multiphasic health study which assessed health and social risk factors in the 1960s- 1980s. The cohort will be used to understand racial/ethnic patterns in cognitive aging and dementia, linking with lifelong data on medical history and health. RF1AG056164 (PI: Manly) 09/01/16-06/30/21 0.24 Calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NIA $57,430 Project Talent Aging Study Dr. Glymour is a social epidemiologist with expertise in causal inference, mediation analyses in lifecourse epidemiology and research in cognitive aging and stroke. 1RF1AG050782-01A1 (PI: Whitmer) 01/01/17-12/31/21 0.24 Calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NIA $25,650 Lifecourse Vascular Contributions to Dementia Risk in African-Americans Dr. Glymour will work closely with the PIs, Dr. Whitmer in specifying, implementing, and interpreting tests of early and mid-life determinants of cognitive aging and dementia.

R01EY027004 (PI: Jorgenson) 07/01/2017-05/31/2021 0.24 calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NEI $56,138 The Role of Refractive Error in the Etiology of Glaucoma The goal of the proposal is to identify genetic loci contributing to glaucoma susceptibility in the context of myopia.

The unique sample is drawn from the Kaiser Permanente Northern California membership and will allow linkage of information from multiple sources including interviews, neuroimaging, and medical records. P01AG041710 (PI: Berkman) 09/30/2017-05/31/2022 0.24 calendar NIH/NIA $10,431 Role: Co-I Health and Aging in Africa: Longitudinal Studies of an INDEPTH Community (HAALSI) This study fields the HAALSI cohort of older South Africans living in Agincourt, in order to evaluate predictors of healthy aging in a group of individuals with unique life experiences and exposures. This program project will collect new data on the cohort in order to evaluate social and physical predictors of physical health, outcomes among HIV infected individuals, and cognitive aging. 1R01AG054066 (PI: Berkman) 09/30/2018-05/31/2023 0.24 calendar NIH/NIA $49,013 Role: Co-I Cognitive Function, Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders in the HAALSI Cohort The goal: is to identify the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease and Re- lated Dementias (ADRD) and associated biological and social risk factors in a population-based cohort of South African men and women aged 40 and over living in Agincourt, South Africa. R01AG057869 (mPI: Glymour/Power) 09/01/2018-04/30/2023 1.38 calendar NIH/NIA $672,754 Closing the gap between observational research and randomized trials for prevention of Alzheimer's Disease and dementia This project integrates evidence on the association between vascular risk factors and cognitive outcomes from observational studies in order to create a simulation platform to mirror proposed RCTs.

R01DK116738 (PI: Jorgenson/Ahituv) 09/15/2018-08/31/2021 0.30 calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NEI $161,376 Genetic Etiology of Abdominal Hernia Susceptibility The goal of the proposal is to identify of hernia associated regulatory elements and experimental characterization of their function. 1R01HD090014 (PI: Osypuk) 09/19/2017-05/31/2021 0.24 calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NICHD $20,749 Health, Neighborhood Context, and Mobility This project uses data on higher education attendance of US Millennials linked to information on quality and for-profit status of colleges to evluate whether health benefits accrue to students differentially based on the quality of the college they attend. 1R01AG063385-01A1 (PI: Hamad) 05/01/2019 – 02/29/2024 0.24 calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NIA $372,764 Using a Natural Experiment to Evaluate the Long-Term Effects of Neighborhood Deprivation on Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Risk Factors This project proposes to the examine the effects of neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation on Alzheimer’s disease and its vascular risk factors. It leverages a policy in Denmark that quasi-randomly dispersed incoming refugees to neighborhoods across the country, as well as rich Danish register data on individual and neighborhood characteristics. R56AG061177 (PI: Zeki Al Hazzouri) 08/15/2019-07/31/2020 0.84 calendar Role: Co-I NIH/NIA $478,358 Statins and Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias: A Novel Quasi-Experimental Approach to Identify Causal Effects.
