Disseminate research ideas and opportunities among ADRD SIG members to foster collaboration and encourage new project development.
Use information based on questionnaires to develop Sig interest topics and most reasonable way to disseminate information.
Prepare collaborative position papers on timely and important issues in the field of ADRD.
Provide professional and career mentorship opportunities.
