Women's Brain Health Initiative company profile

Women's Brain Health Initiative advances research and education focused on brain aging disorders that disproportionately affect women. The charity awards grants and seed funding to scientists studying sex and gender differences in cognition, dementia risk, and prevention strategies. Public-facing programs include webinars, community talks, and a magazine that translates current findings into practical habits involving sleep, exercise, nutrition, stress management, and ongoing learning. Youth outreach includes Brainable, which introduces brain-healthy behaviors early in life. Awareness and fundraising efforts such as Stand Ahead mobilize donors to support studies and education. The organization also advocates for the inclusion of female participants in clinical research and for sex- and gender-based analysis across neuroscience. Partnerships with academic institutions include support for research chairs dedicated to women’s brain health and aging.
