The study will take 6 months and will include activities such as questionnaires, games, and tasks done on the study laptop and phone. There is the opportunity to earn up to $230 for your participation.

In Clemson, SC,  we are currently recruiting for the Preventing Alzheimer's with Cognitive Training (PACT) and the Elucidating the Necessary Active Components of Training (ENACT) Trials

 

The goal of PACT is to determine if computerized training exercises can reduce the risk of dementia. If you qualify to help, you will complete 3 study visits lasting no more than 2 hours each at the SHAARP lab, and 45 one-hour sessions on your own, in your own home, over the next 3 years. 

​

For ENACT we are investigating the particular components of successful computerized training exercises for maintaining brain health and everyday functioning. If you qualify, participation in this study will last 5 to 9 months, and you will be provided a smartphone and laptop to complete all study-related activities. There is an opportunity to earn up to $260 for participating in this research. 

Please call us at (864) 916-6220 if you are interested or have any questions about PACT or ENACT.

Please check back for future study opportunities and thank you for your support and continued interest!
