Collaboration for Accelerated Impact

In 2020, we celebrated our 10th year as a foundation with continued growth and pursuit of results, launching a new research initiative - the CTF Consortium. Our focus has always been to expand and enhance the breadth of our research efforts, as well as the impact of your donated dollars.

The CTF Consortium is a collaborative group of renowned doctors and researchers working in Pittsburgh to cure dementia!

Comprised of top researchers from UPMC and University of Pittsburgh, this initiative has received a total of $550,000 since its inauguration and continues its vital work towards dementia research and collaborative discoveries today. This initiative and effort takes immediate action with the hopes to offset the staggering statistics of dementia. We believe our time to ‘rise up’ and end this disease is now through the CTF Consortium's dementia research. Learn more about the CTF Consortium members and their research below.

The CTF Consortium is a catalyst for uniting three highly productive research groups with complimentary expertise. Their expertise allows this research to span across a variety of research methodology and treatment theories. The excitement of this model is found within their overlapping entities. When explored together, they can accelerate research advancements and double or even triple funding impact. This chart highlights the areas in which collaboration throughout this research is taking place.
