USF Researchers Secure $2.8M for Alzheimers Prevention Study
University of South Florida researchers leading the Preventing Alzheimer’s with Cognitive Training study have received an additional $2.8 million from the National Institutes of Health. This funding supports their work on using computerized brain exercises to combat cognitive decline and dementia. The trial aims to determine if these digital training programs can reduce the risk of impairment for older adults. Since its launch in 2020, the project has secured over $50 million in federal support, indicating strong belief in its potential impact on millions facing dementia risks. While no major results have been released yet, the team plans to share full findings in the fall of 2028 and is expanding the research to gather more solid evidence. The new funding will help maintain momentum and offer hope for simple tools to protect memory as we age.
