How has the IMPACT-AD course helped further your career?

“Communication and connection with ACTC faculty have been phenomenal. I have a K23 under review with an addition of an ACTC faculty as mentor specifically following connections related to IMPACT-AD.”

Elizabeth Rhodus, PhD
University of Kentucky, Fellowship Track Class of 2020

“I am relatively new to cognition research. The IMPACT-AD course was fantastic as it gave me foundational knowledge from the best experts in the field. I wish it was in person but even with zoom it was very helpful. I don’t know any other course that does a better job to stay connected with alumni.”

Ambar Kulshreshtha, MD, PhD
Emory University, Fellowship Track Class of 2020

“Remembering the concepts that we learned about clinical trial design are front and center as I continue to apply for funding. I just applied as a Co-I for a randomized controlled trial on community-based exercise in older African Americans and how genetics may moderate the neuroprotective effects of these exercise programs.”

Bernadette Fausto, PhD
Rutgers University-Newark, Fellowship Track Class of 2020

“During the course I took extensive notes from experts on what they seemed to be the most critical gaps in the field and current research addressing those gaps. Along with these insights the panel on grant reviews helped redirect my specific aims and strengthen the overall impact of my grant. My grant went from not discussed to awarded. IMPACT-AD contributed to that major turn around.”

Andrew Hooyman, PhD
Arizona State University, Fellowship Track Class of 2020

“I have become more familiar and comfortable with ongoing clinical trials at the Yale Alzheimer’s disease Research Unit, and excited/hopeful to take on a larger and more supervisory role in these trials secondary to this confidence. Direct involvement in clinical trials in AD will be a central part of my further career development.”
