Participate

Research participation advances the knowledge of aging brains to improve lives and outcomes. Community participation in our research makes our mission possible.

Have you ever wondered…

How does a new drug get approved by the FDA?

How an MRI or PET scan was developed? 

How do we know so much about our lungs or heart?

This is all possible because of research participants.

A research participant is crucial to conducting clinical research and answering important questions that can advance medical science and improve the human condition. Depending on the type of research, your participation could include answering survey questions, doing a physical assessment or vision screening, donating a sample of blood or DNA, having an MRI, or testing a new medication. Your support is essential to reduce, and eventually eliminate, neurodegenerative disease. Your legacy can be a world without Alzheimer’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Frontotemporal dementia, and related disorders.

We have other ways to participate in CCBH research to support our mission.

Recruitment Volunteer

A recruitment volunteer spreads awareness about CCBH’s research opportunities and events by connecting with individuals, communities, and groups. This may involve visiting in person, distributing flyers, and building relationships to encourage participation with CCBH. Volunteers are required to complete an application and attend training.

Community Liaison

A community liaison represents their neighborhood, civic group, worship center, or workplace to share information about CCBH’s research opportunities and events. This may include distributing materials, answering questions, and encouraging community participation with CCBH. Liaisons are required to complete an application and attend training.

Community Advisory Board

An advisory board member provides guidance and feedback to help shape CCBH’s research goals, protocols, and long-term plans. This may involve participating in focus groups, interviews, or virtual meetings to share insights, offer suggestions, and support the center’s growth. Potential advisors are required to complete an application and attend orientation.

Donate

Your monetory support in our research will contribute to our mission and lead to groundbreaking treatments and better lives for millions of individuals. By donating, you advance scientific knowledge and offer hope to individuals and families living with and a future without neurodegenerative disease. Join us in making a difference today.
