AHA Efforts to Fund Brain Health Research

In this podcast, Dr. Mitch Elkind, Chief Clinical Science Officer of the American Heart Association and a neurologist at Columbia University, discusses the AHA's growing programming in brain health and neuroscience. The AHA is developing research, awareness, advocacy, and quality programs in cognitive decline and dementia, migraine, epilepsy, mental health and other areas of interest to brain scientists and clinicians, including neurologists. In particular, Dr. Elkind will discuss research funding opportunities available through the Heart Association, which now considers brain health one of its core areas of research funding interest, along with cardiovascular disease and stroke.
