We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.
You can help! If you notice any innacuracies, please

Visual Cognition and Daily Function in Ad and Pd
[unreadable] DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Identification of factors that keep individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from functioning optimally in their daily lives is of singular importance. Many aspects of vision and visual cognition are impaired in AD, including the abilities to recognize and discriminate objects. These impairments arise from pathological changes in high-order association areas of the brain, but also from defective input from lower-level visual processing areas. Because many healthy elderly adults and people with AD take multiple pills on a daily basis, and occasionally drop pills onto a tabletop or floor surface, a real-world search task is proposed that investigates how perceptual factors such as contrast sensitivity and depth perception affect the ability to detect a target object. Information will be acquired on acuity, contrast sensitivity and depth perception. By enhancing contrast, it is hypothesized that the ability of those with AD to conduct visual search under naturalistic conditions will be improved. This information can be used to develop effective intervention strategies aimed at sustaining independent activities of daily living and improving the quality of life of the elderly and individuals with AD.
