NIH/NIA Blog: "Summit to Focus on Dementia Care and Caregivers"
Dr. Elena Fazio from the NIH/NIA Division of Behavioral and Social Research has written a blog on the upcoming Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and Their Caregivers.
The blog, "Summit to Focus on Dementia Care and Caregivers," says that although attending the October 16-17th Summit in person has reached capacity, you can still take part by signing up for the live videocast. The Summit will focus on the research needed to develop, evaluate, implement, and disseminate comprehensive care, services, and support for people with dementia, their families, and other caregivers.
The meeting is being coordinated by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of ASPE’s activities under the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) and its Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services. The expectation is that the Summit will result in recommendations for research priorities to inform a broad range of agencies, organizations and individuals from the public and private sectors.
