This grant is for supporting in-depth research into the crucial role of bilingualism in fostering cognitive reserve and resilience, particularly in healthy aging individuals and those affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The primary purpose is to fund prospective, hypothesis-driven studies that contribute to a robust theoretical framework, elucidating how acquiring a second language influences human brain function. The initiative strongly encourages multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches. The goal is to enhance understanding of the intricate interplay between neural, environmental, and sociocultural factors, ultimately revealing bilingualism’s protective or contributing role in cognitive health throughout the aging process and in neurodegenerative conditions.

| Description: | The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research studying the role of bilingualism as it relates to cognitive reserve/resilience in healthy aging and in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias(ADRD). This FOA aims to address the need for more prospective, hypothesis-driven research to build a theoretical framework and to clearly identify the extent to which acquiring a second language impacts human brain function. Multimodal and multidisciplinary studies are highly encouraged to improve our understanding of the complex interactions between neural, environmental, and sociocultural factors and the role of bilingualism in healthy aging and in AD/ADRD. |
