To explore the progress in brain health science, join the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) and the McKnight Brain Research Foundation (MBRF) for a free webinar pairing recipients of the McKnight Brain Research Foundation Innovator Awards in Cognitive Aging and Memory Loss with neurotech leaders for a conversation grounded in promising research and science-backed tools.

You are invited to the inaugural Donald and Barbara Zucker Healthy Aging Lecture featuring Dr. Paul García, MD, PhD. This annual series, hosted by the Northwell Roybal Center for Personalized Trials, features leading researchers at the intersection of aging-related topics including Alzheimer Disease and related dementias and physical activity.

This two-day event will provide a unique opportunity to learn and collaborate, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to explore how behavioral science can be applied to solve real-world challenges.

Dr. Portacolone will discuss issues associated with screening, consent, recruitment, and eligibility for older adults living alone with cognitive impairment. Building on her experience, including leading a large qualitative study involving multiple interviews (n=486) with over 100 racially and ethnically diverse older adults living alone in 3 states, Dr. Portacolone will also share the protocols from the US-based Living Alone with Cognitive Impairment study.

The symposium brings together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and industry leaders to share the latest advances in behavioral science and health, foster collaboration, and explore new ideas to improve health and healthcare. Abstract submissions are currently being accepted for symposium presentations.

The IMPACT Collaboratory requests applications for The James L. Rudolph Career Development Award Program and Pilot Grants Program of non-pharmacological interventions for people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners.

As the Alzheimer's disease landscape rapidly evolves with new biomarker tools and FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies reshaping how we diagnose and treat, earlier identification and timely intervention have never been more critical to patient outcomes. During this session, we will: review early detection approaches using clinical assessments with the latest biomarker tools, discuss appropriate patient selection and use of disease-modifying therapies...

Webinar Overview Join the Roybal Center for Promoting Adherence to Behavior Change and Enhancing Cognitive Function for an upcoming webinar, June 3, 2026, at 11:00 am ET titled “From Message to Motivation: Communication Strategies That Drive Cancer Prevention Behaviors.” This webinar will feature Dr. William Calo and will explore how effective communication can influence health behaviors and support cancer prevention efforts.

June 30 , 2026 | University of Birmingham Behavioural research is crucial for informing policy and practice in areas not limited to but including public health, climate change and sustainability, economic well-being, education, crime and justice, social welfare, governance and digital technology including artificial intelligence. Making advances in these areas, and improving the ways we conduct behavioural research, will depend on large-scale collaboration across disciplinary

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory (U54AG063546) was established in 2019 to build the nation’s capacity to conduct embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) of non-pharmacological interventions within health care systems to improve the care of people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners. The IMPACT Collaboratory will fund up to t

April 30, 2026 | 3:-0AM – 4:30PM ET A new generation of Alzheimer’s treatments is reshaping the landscape of dementia care. This webinar will examine what these drugs are, how they differ from previous therapies that primarily addressed symptoms, and what we know about their benefits and risks. Have these treatments changed patient care in meaningful ways? How are patients and families experiencing them in the real world? We will also explore pressing questions about affordab
