The University of Michigan's Regents received a $176,583 Project Grant awarded on March 1, 2026, through the Fogarty International Center's International Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.989) to conduct the Zambian Cohort of Healthy Aging and Dementia (ZCHAD) Study. This 24-month research initiative (through February 29, 2028) will assess the prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) and associated risk factors among adults aged 55 years and older in urban Lusaka and rural Mazabuka districts of Zambia. The research will employ formal neuropsychological testing, structured participant and informant interviews, validated questionnaires, physical examinations, and laboratory investigations to evaluate approximately 9.5% projected prevalence rates of AD/ADRD and determine how modifiable risk factors differ between urban and rural populations. In addition to generating epidemiological data addressing critical knowledge gaps in low- and middle-income country settings, the project will build neuropsychiatric research capacity in Zambia by providing training and research experience to a Zambian neuropsychologist, neuropsychologists-in-training, and community health workers. This capacity-building component aligns with the Fogarty International Center's mission to foster global health partnerships and reduce health disparities through collaborative research and workforce development in countries where dementia services and research infrastructure remain limited.Federal Grant Award Summary
