Benefits of CCNA membership:

CCNA membership offers a range of benefits designed to support and enhance research excellence. Members are regularly updated on CCNA news and scientific training activities and receive invitations to scientific symposia, providing opportunities for engagement in knowledge transfer and collaborative learning.

Members also have the opportunity to access data from CCNA’s LORIS database and request biological samples in accordance with CCNA’s Publications and Data Access Policy. All data and sample requests are reviewed by the Publications and Data Access Committee to ensure compliance and suitability for research use. Additionally, members can consult the Dementia Research Support Hub for guidance on research methodology and best practices.

Trainee members benefit from specialized resources through the Training and Capacity Building Program. Trainees can access essential resources on the CCNA Training Program website, including a library of core training modules that build foundational research skills. The program also connects trainees to a network of established investigators through a searchable Investigator Member database, offering one-on-one mentorship opportunities for up to a year.
