COLLABORATIONS
Our project 'U-M BASIC COG' aims to use door-to-door surveillance in Texas, a non-immigrant, bi-ethnic community, to determine the prevalence and trajectory over time of cognitive impairment and dementia in Mexican Americans and non-Hispanic whites.
Our Mission
The COG-HSR mission is to perform interdisciplinary research, publishing and training that aims to optimize brain health and impact public policy in order to protect and improve the health and well-being of individuals.
Evaluate risk factors
For dementia and vascular cognitive impairment, such as stroke and hypertension.
Understand and reduce disparities
In brain health, including stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and vascular cognitive impairment.
Train the next generation of outcomes researchers
In brain health by mentoring junior faculty and trainees to become future leaders in cognitive health services research.
Improve the care and quality of life
For people with dementia and other cognitive disabilities and their loved ones.
Our Goals
Mentoring
To train the next generation of outcomes researchers in these fields by mentoring junior faculty and trainees to become future leaders in outcomes research.
Innovation
To conduct innovative research in cognitive impairment and dementia that will inform healthcare policies, guide clinical decision making, and improve overall health.
Opportunity
Nationally-Recognized Multi-Disciplinary Health Services Research
To create a nationally-recognized multi-disciplinary health services research program focused on assessing risk factors and outcomes of cognitive impairment and dementia in order to improve the health and well-being of individuals.
BP COG PROJECT
The BP COG study aims to determine the effect of high blood pressure over the life course on the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites, and to estimate the potential impact of optimal high blood pressure treatment intensity to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in cognitive impairment and dementia.
