Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Patients with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias and their families who could benefit from knowledge about prevention, treatment, and caregiving strategies.
✕Less likely to help
If a patient or caregiver is not seeking information or resources, they may not directly benefit.
What this research studies
This grant supports translating consortium research into real-world benefits for people living with AD/ADRD and their caregivers. It uses existing dissemination channels like newsletters, annual literature reviews, and an online data archive to share findings in plain terms. The centerpiece is an annual conference that gathers researchers, policymakers, advocates, and others to discuss how research can improve care and wellbeing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could accelerate access to useful information and resources for patients and caregivers.
How similar studies have gone: Other translation cores have shown that better dissemination and stakeholder engagement can improve care decisions and policy.
