Cross-cutting Programs
CCNA’s Cross-cutting Programs have been priority areas since 2014. These programs had their own dedicated leadership and funding. They worked collaboratively with one another and provided guidance, resources, and training on their respective focus areas to all CCNA research teams and trainees.
This ensures that these important areas are considered and incorporated across all CCNA research and events.
CCNA’s Cross-cutting programs:
Training and Capacity Building / Lead: Manuel Montero-Odasso
Women, Sex, Gender, and Dementia / Lead: Gillian Einstein
Knowledge Mobilization / Leads: Carrie MacAiney and Howard Chertkow
Ethical, Legal and Social Implications / Leads: Julie Robillard and John Fisk
Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia / Leads: Jennifer Bethell and Katherine McGilton
Indigenous Cognitive Health / Lead: Jennifer Walker, Lindsay Crowshoe and Pamela Roach
Stigma and Social Isolation Working Group / Leads: Sarah Fraser and Katherine McGilton
Most of these Cross-cutting Programs are still operating under a new umbrella: the Research Support Hub
