Drs. Sara Czaja and Wally Boot have received a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) to fund ENHANCE II (Enhancing Neuro-Cognitive Health, Abilities, Networks & Community Engagement).
This 5-year, multimillion dollar grant, entitled "Technologies to Enhance Independence and Community Living Among People With Cognitive Disabilities" is funded through the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Centers (RERCs) Program. The program will explore “how technology can support the ability of older adults with cognitive disabilities to successfully engage in daily living and community activities.” People with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders are one of the targeted populations; others are those with mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke.
