Alzheimer's Research Studies

The Human Spatial Cognition Lab at the University of Arizona (UA) is recruiting adult volunteers to participate in research investigating memory and spatial navigation.

The AHEAD Study is a new trial aiming to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. It is evaluating whether an investigational treatment (BAN2401 (lecanemab)) can lower the amount of amyloid in the brain and how that impacts decline in memory loss due to Alzheimer’s.

Studies have shown that changes caused by Alzheimer’s occur in the brain many years before a person shows symptoms of the disease.

The Alzheimer Prevention Trials Webstudy (APT Webstudy) is an online memory and thinking research tool aiming to accelerate the enrollment for Alzheimer’s clinical trials. This will be done by identifying and tracking individuals who may be at higher risk for developing Alzheimer’s, with the goal of providing members the opportunity to participate in clinical trials aimed at preventing dementia. 

ADNI is a landmark study of brain aging. ADNI is an observational study, so no medications or treatments are given as part of the study. ADNI researchers study changes in thinking and memory over time through online and in-person assessments, as well as memory and other types of tests to help us learn more about brain health and Alzheimer’s. The study includes people with no memory problems, mild memory concerns and those with early dementia/Alzheimer’s disease. Eligible participants who complete certain phases of the ADNI study may be paid.

This six-month virtual training involves online assessments, training videos and discussion groups. The small group discussions are virtual, and topic centered. Two of the discussions are combined, small group, virtual discussions with the care partners and persons with the diagnosis. Five of the group discussions are separate, small group, virtual discussions; one for the care partners and one for the persons with a diagnosis.

The University of Texas at Arlington research team is conducting a research study to find biological signs in the brain for early detection of Alzheimer's disease with a new, low-cost, portable device.

This six-month online study is part of a larger initiative known as The BrainHealth® Project, a longitudinal study focused on identifying determinants of brain health.

Participants receive two BrainHealth Index assessments (pre- and post- training), online training, and virtual coaching with a BrainHealth professional trained in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Your coach will help translate training concepts and strategies to support challenges of MCI.
