Research with Members

Our goal is to connect academic, clinical and student researchers with people living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their care partners to collaborate on projects that aim to improve the quality of life and the lived experience of those affected by MCI. The solutions that are explored through these efforts and the process of collaborative design itself are both intended to be empowering for the members of the Cognitive Empowerment Program (CEP).

We welcome involvement of individual students, focused classes, professors, and researchers from all departments of Georgia Tech and Emory. We are also interested in collaborating with external partners from industry, non-profits and other academic institutions that share our interest in accelerating the ability to empower people living with mild cognitive impairment.

 There are a few different ways to get involved: 
1)    Observe a CEP programming session  
2)    Interact and/or recruit members for your study 
3)    Request CEP Data for Research Purposes 

Request to Observe, Interact and/or Recruit Members for your Study

If you want to observe one of the programming sessions, please provide enough information about your purpose. If you would like to Interact and/or Recruit members for your study, we can help put CEP related research opportunities in front of members living with MCI for face-to-face discussions during the members weekly programming attended by the member and care partner dyads.
