We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

The Influence of Fitness On Brain and Cognition @ University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In order to reduce the decline in cognitive abilities in the aging population, this proposal will examine the effect of aerobic fitness training on human cognition, brain structure, and the brain function of older adults. The main specific aims of this proposal include: 1) To test the hypothesis that improvements in aerobic fitness of older adults will lead to improved performance on a variety of cognitive processes, especially those supported by the frontal regions of the brain, 2) To test the hypothesis that the improvements in cognitive processes engendered by enhanced aerobic fitness will be supported by changes in underlying neural circuits, as inferred from patterns of fMRI activation, 3) To test the hypothesis that improvements in aerobic fitness, over the course of a 1 year intervention, will result in increases in gray and white matter volume in regions of the human brain (i.e. primarily frontal, medial temporal and parietal regions), 4) To test the hypothesis that increased levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and decreases in markers of inflammation (i.e. C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) engendered by improvements in aerobic fitness will moderate the fitness benefits observed on measures of cognition, brain function and structure.
