Bernard Schreurs, assistant vice president of Research Development in the West Virginia University Health Sciences Center and professor in the School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience, has received notification of continued funding for the research project “Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias.” Paul Chantler, professor, and James Simpkins, professor emeritus, in the School of Medicine Department of Neuroscience, serve as co-principle investigators.
The National Institute on Aging, a part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded $311,260 for the 2026 fiscal year, which represents year 10 of the 10-year grant totaling $3,474,404.
The grant supports the Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease Related Dementias Predoctoral Training Program, which formalizes and standardizes the WVU training programs in the biomedical sciences and focuses on aging and stroke research by creating a new generation of young scholars who can address the need for innovative stroke research for the citizens of West Virginia and the nation.
