About the
BRAINY-NJ Study
The BRAINY-NJ Study is a research project that aims to investigate the risks and protective factors for Alzheimer's Disease and related Dementia (ADRD) in Brazilian immigrants living in the NYC metropolitan area,
especially in NY and NJ states.
We are recruiting paid participants for clinical assessments, physical exams, and blood tests.
The BRAINY-NJ study is funded by the
Alzheimer's Association, the global leading organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research.

Our Vision
and Goals
Our research is one of the first to delve into aging in Brazilian immigrants in the U.S. By participating in the study you can help us understand how lifestyle, cardiovascular health, stress and sociocultural factors (such as acculturation and social engagement) impact your brain health. Our findings aim to enhance brain/mental health, health equity and prevention of Alzheimer​'s disease/dementia.
