Solving the Dementia Crisis

Our dementia initiative unites 17 colleges to solve health transitions before they become diagnoses.

With over $1.2 million in seed funding, the Dementia and Alzheimer’s Research Initiative (DARI) unites researchers across disciplines to drive breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and care.

Researchers are shifting the focus from late-stage Alzheimer’s to the earlier biological transition when mild cognitive impairment begins converting to dementia.
