Research Partners
University of Florida & University of Southern Florida
In partnership with University of Florida and University of Southern Florida- Active Mind is a pilot trial investigating if computerized training exercises sometimes called brain games can improve the daily functioning of older adults. For more information contact the study coordinators.

Brain Health Registry
The Brain Health Registry (BHR) is an online registry for people interested in research on new treatments for different neurological and psychological conditions. We're working with the BHR on a coordinated effort to recruit and follow online a large cohort of older adults in California.
Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network
The Global Alzheimer's Association Interactive Network (GAAIN) is an integrated research platform, which links scientists, shared data, and analysis tools. Investigators can address scientific questions by accessing large shared data sets. The GAAIN team has recruited data partners all over the world to join the effort to accelerate Alzheimer's disease research.
MarkVCID Consortium
MarkVCID is a consortium of US academic medical centers whose mission is to identify and validate biomarkers for the small vessel diseases of the brain that produce vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). The overall goal of the consortium is to deliver high-quality biomarkers ready for use in clinical trials aimed at generating scientific breakthroughs in our understanding and treatment of VCID. MarkVCID’s seven research sites and coordinating center are funded by grants from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders & Stroke (NINDS) and National Institute on Aging (NIA), and the BrightFocus Foundation.
Salk Institute
We are collaborating with researchers at the Salk Institute who are trying to better understand circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are the 24-hour built-in schedules that program a lot of our bodies’ processes.
Stanford/American Heart Association
We are working with a team of Stanford School of Medicine researchers that received a grant to probe the interactions between the brain and blood vessels in order to develop a better understanding of age-related brain disorders. The project focuses on the influence of immune factors and systemic inflammation on the brain. The goal is to uncover molecules in the blood that affect cerebrovascular and brain health in aging and in people with vascular risk factors.
