Collaborate With Us
The Mesulam Center houses multiple resources for collaborative research on cognitive aging and dementia. These include well-characterized cognitively normal or cognitively impaired research participants, neuropathologic specimens, blood samples, neuroimaging, and other biomarker data, and cognitive and behavioral data, many of which are collected longitudinally.
All applications for collaboration are reviewed by the Mesulam Center's Executive Committee, which evaluates the applications for scientific merit and justification, the likelihood of research leading to publications and/or grant applications, source of funding for the proposed study (NIH is priority), and availability of the requested resources.
All collaborators are requested to share data as appropriate with the Center.
PLEASE NOTE: The Mesulam Center will not be accepting new collaborative requests or applications until March 1, 2023. We have temporarily removed the link to the collaborative application. However, if investigators wish to communicate with the relevant faculty member(s) to explore the feasibility for collaboration before March 2023 they may do so.
