About the Network

There is strong scientific premise that individual sensory losses are important risk factors and markers of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) and subjective wellbeing in later life.

The SENSE Network launched in September 2020 to foster collaborations in sensory, cognitive aging, and gerontological research among a diverse and inclusive network of researchers from all backgrounds, including individuals with lived experience.

Now, with funding by National Institute of Aging, the SENSE Network is developing novel infrastructure to produce new knowledge, tools, and tangible scientific results that address key sensory aging research gaps.
