4th Workshop on Research Definitions for Reserve and Resilience in Cognitive Aging & Dementia

Hybrid Event – December 4-5, 2023

Bethesda, MD, USA – Marriott Bethesda

4th Workshop on Research Definitions for Reserve and Resilience in Cognitive Aging & Dementia

The Collaboratory has been very successful in allowing us to develop consensus operational definitions for three aspects of “resilience”: cognitive reserve, brain maintenance and brain reserve. The pilot awards have generated some excellent research that provides examples of how to implement these guidelines. We now feel it would be very useful to have one final meeting that helps us think about and implement projects that share data to facilitate further research in this area.

We will have experts provide practical information about various facets of data sharing, including guidance from National Institute on Aging representatives on their new data sharing requirements. A large part of the meeting will be set aside for two breakout sessions. The first will focus on brainstorming about projects that would benefit from data sharing; the second attempt would be to set up concrete plans for projects that participants can work on together in the future.

Our hope is that this final meeting will spark many innovative projects that will make major contributions to our understanding of the contributors to, and the neural implementation, of reserve and resilience.
