Contact:: Christina Aubert, caubert@txstate.edu
Campus Sponsor:: Translational Health Research Center

Texas is aging faster than most other states, and nearly 460,000 residents over 65 have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia. To address this growing need, the Brain Health Community Collaborative: Partners in Healthy Aging ECHO Series connects researchers, community organizations, and healthcare stakeholders in a virtual space where they can share knowledge, discuss practical strategies for brain health, and build meaningful partnerships.

By fostering these connections, the Translational Health Research Center (THRC) at Texas State University aims to help participants develop the collaborative relationships essential for competitive grant proposals and supports their ability to pursue funding opportunities, including the Dementia Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), advancing research and healthy aging initiatives across the state.
