Welcome to the Brain Resilience
and Diversity in Aging and Dementia
Collaboratory!

Welcome to the Brain Resilience and Diversity in Aging and Dementia Collaboratory!

We are a group of 40+ scientists, clinicians, knowledge users and persons with lived experience (PWLE) who are working together to advance theory, research methodology, care, and policy in brain health, aging, and dementia research by making it more inclusive and representative of the diversity of our aging population.

Specifically, we aim to increase our understanding of differential brain resilience and promote brain health equity in aging and dementia. To learn more about the rationale for the work that we do, please click here.

We are excited to announce that we are holding a one-day symposium in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on May 15, 2024! The symposium has limited spaces and is open to trainees, faculty, clinicians, knowledge users, and PWLE. Early career researchers are encouraged to attend. The symposium will include a series of research talks from national and international leaders in the field of aging and dementia research, and provide opportunities for interaction and discussions aimed at developing a Brain Resilience and Diversity in Aging and Dementia framework that provides actionable recommendations for best practices in research design, measurement, and analysis to better integrate considerations of sex, gender, and diversity in studies of brain resilience in aging and dementia.
