Bourgeois Family Foundation
Dementia Research Think Tank 2027
Advancing Person-Centered Dementia Research Through Mentorship and Innovation
What is the Think Tank?
The Bourgeois Family Foundation Dementia Research Think Tank is an immersive, one-day event pairing emerging investigators with nationally recognized mentors to strengthen research still in development. Selected protégés present a project and receive direct feedback from faculty with expertise in person-centered rehabilitation, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, implementation science, mechanistic and early detection research, mixed-methods, single-case experimental design, clinical intervention research, and grantsmanship. The Think Tank takes place the day before the 2027 Aphasia Access Leadership Summit in Louisville, Kentucky.
