Alzheimer's and Dementia Research Center
The Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services at Utah State University recently secured state legislative funding of $850,000 per year to support a new Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research Center. This center will provide research, training, support, and increased access to services for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD) as well as their families and caregivers.
This new state funding gives USU researchers additional support to prioritize work related to ADRD, stimulating new projects and new partnerships with the goal of yielding an innovative exchange of ideas and scientific methods. More information on the center will become available as the project moves forward.
