Several new grants go to researchers at the Aging Research Center
Researchers at the Ageing Research Centre have been awarded a number of grants from Demensfonden, Stiftelsen Sigurd och Elsa Goljes minne, Stiftelsen Ragnhild och Einar Lundströms minne, as well as the SfoEpi Consolidator grant, for studies on the health and well-being of older people. In addition, ARC is involved in a project within preventive and health-promoting interventions that has been granted funding from Forte.
The project "FINGER-Pro: Evidence-based health promotion interventions for healthy aging: adapting and implementing the FINGER multidomain model across different settings and sociocultural contexts" has been awarded funding from Forte totaling SEK 23,998,000 (of which SEK 8,300,000 to ARC). Miia Kivipelto, researcher at the Division of Clinical Geriatrics at the Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, is in charge of the project and collaborates closely with Chengxuan Qiu, senior lecturer at the Division of Aging Research Center (ARC) at the same department.
Davide Liborio Vetrano is awarded a SfoEpi Consolidator Grant totaling SEK 3,600,000, dispersed over three years and until 2025, for the project "Pursuing new frontiers for a healthier aging: simulation-based manipulation of biological pathways involved in multimorbidity, frailty and dementia development".
