NIH Dementia Care Summit

Mark your calendars for the NIH Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit to be held virtually on March 17-19, 2026. The Summit offers a vital opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made in dementia care and caregiving research, as well as address the persistent and emerging needs of people living with dementia, their care partners, and the communities and health systems that support them. We look forward to engaging with Summit participants as we discuss current science and identify research gaps.

The 2026 Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit will cover:

• Economic impacts of dementia
• Individual and community partnerships for people living with dementia
• Dementia care and caregiving interventions: advancing rigorous intervention development
• Dementia care models and care coordination strategies across systems and states
• Advances in AD/ADRD data infrastructure to support dementia care and caregiving research
• Sharing lived experiences from people living with dementia, care partners, and family and community members
