Friends of BrainHealth Awards Grants to Advance Dementia Prevention and Brain Health Research

The Friends of BrainHealth donor circle has awarded its 2026 research grants, providing crucial early support for scientists pursuing new approaches to understanding, protecting, and strengthening brain health. These awards will help position Center for BrainHealth researchers to compete for substantial state grants from the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), aiming to accelerate broad-scale, translational research over the next decade. The funded projects span areas such as early detection of brain changes, dementia risk and resilience, caregiver well-being, cognitive resilience, metabolic health, and Alzheimer's disease.
