Professor Vincent Mor is a world-leader in research into the needs of older people who has been working tirelessly to change the way we care for older adults and people with dementia.
He has co-led two $50 million grants aimed to transform the lives of people with dementia. The grants created a massive collaborative research incubator to develop trials aimed at evaluating interventions for Alzheimer's disease or Alzheimer's-related dementia. The first objective is to fund and provide expert assistance to up to 40 pilot trials that will test non-drug, care-based interventions for people living with dementia. The second objective is to develop best practices for implementing and evaluating interventions for Alzheimer's and dementia care and share them with the research community at large.
