The Center for Alzheimer鈥檚 and Neurodegenerative Diseases at 香港6合开奖结果 and the Nantz National Alzheimer鈥檚 Center at Houston Methodist are working together to support research on Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease and AD-related dementias.
The BCM-HM Collaborative Pilot Grants stimulate development of cross-institutional research teams. The program鈥檚 goals are to:
- Promote mutually beneficial partnerships that will lead to productive and long-lasting research collaborations between BCM and HM that positively impact the AD/ADRD field
- Kick-start or expand research that has a high likelihood of leading to peer-reviewed publications and external funding
- Engage HM and BCM trainees in mentored research experiences and team science, and cultivate future leaders in basic, clinical, and translational investigation for AD/ADRDs.
