RCMAR 2026 Annual Meeting
Calling ALL RCMAR - RCMAR/AD Sites
The RCMAR 2026 Annual Meeting will bring together members from all 17 RCMAR VI Centers. Current and alumni RCMAR Scientists will present scientific advances in RCMAR-supported social, behavioral, psychological, and economic research studies on aging, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD), and health disparities among older adults. The meeting will also provide valuable opportunities for RCMAR Scientists, directors, core leads, mentors, and program managers to brainstorm, troubleshoot, network, and collaborate across the RCMAR community, as well as to engage with NIA staff.
Target Participants: Each of the 17 RCMARs is expected to be represented by a minimum of two RCMAR scientists and the PD/PI, as specified in the RCMAR VI funding opportunities (RFA-AG-23-025 and RFA-AG-23-026). Additional RCMAR scientists, as well as RCMAR alumni, faculty, and community leader partners are welcome to participate, budget permitting. Program managers and administrators are also encouraged to attend and would benefit from local and national RCMAR program networks.
We are striving to host an inclusive, accessible meeting that will enable all RCMAR community members to engage fully. To request an accommodation (please see list in registration), or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact: Mr. Ifechukwu Ofonedu (ifechukwu.ofonedu@nih.gov).
