Grant Research
Since awarding the Donald M. Jameson Fellowship Grant in 2014, we have come a long way in expanding our research efforts and impact. Prior to the development of our currently funded collaborative cohort, the CTF Consortium, we awarded esteemed researchers individual research grants on a 1-1 basis (one researcher receiving one grant for an individual project). This research was backed by world renowned facilities such as the Pittsburgh Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases (PIND), the University of Pittsburgh, and Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (CogRx).
