The University of South Florida serves as the principal site for the landmark Preventing Alzheimer’s with Cognitive Training (PACT) clinical trial. Funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health, this multi-site study examines whether computerized brain training can reduce the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Additional funding was awarded by the NIA to explore if Alzheimer’s-associated blood-based biomarkers moderate cognitive training effects among PACT participants in addition to providing an option for PACT participants to provide blood samples that will be used to develop tests for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. The PACT trial is the largest study of its kind to date investigating not only how to potentially reduce dementia risk but also how to detect the condition earlier through less invasive and costly methods.
