$8.5 US million to study aging and dementia in adults with Down syndrome

A large grant to the highly regarded and experienced Kennedy Kreiger Institute in Baltimore will add to knowledge about dementia in older people with Down syndrome, by supporting a further five years of work on research that has been ongoing since 1987.  Read the Kennedy Kreiger news release here.

This work is in addition to a five year project on dementia and Down syndrome recently announced by the University of Kentucky.
