This federal Project Grant award of $617,687 from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program aims to build infrastructure for community-engaged research interventions focused on three neurological conditions affecting brain health: stroke, vascular cognitive impairment and dementia, and Parkinson's disease. The key objectives are to establish community-level and patient-level oversight, identify multilevel barriers to research inclusion for Black and Hispanic patients, and design and pilot a brain equity curriculum for bidirectional community and academic learning. Upon completion, the project will provide the partnerships, knowledge, and infrastructure needed to design rigorous clinical trials with equitable representation from communities disproportionately impacted by neurological diseases. The award will be performed by the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, leveraging their expertise in biomedical research, clinical trials, and translational science.
