The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is currently seeking public feedback to inform comprehensive updates to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease.

This virtual workshop will bring together leading investigators in spatial cognition and navigation research to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and catalyze innovative collaborations. The goal is to advance mechanistic understanding of spatial cognition and navigation research in the context of aging, and accelerate progress in early detection, neuroprotection, and interventions for Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease–related dementias (AD/ADRD).

The purpose of this one-day workshop is to bring together experts in the field to include current NIA NIH grantees and future NIHA applicants focused on the GUIDE model and/or other comprehensive dementia care models. The workshop will discuss differential access to GUIDE, impact of payment models in quality of care or access to care, and additional data that could be beneficial to researchers or GUIDE model healthcare providers.

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.
