PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH

If your organization is interested in participating in research, NIDE is here to support you. NIDE partners with organizations to conduct research that aims to push the field forward, as it relates to dementia care and education.

At the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE), we work with elder service organizations – such as senior care facilities, memory care units, hospitals, and universities studying memory disorders – to create unique certificate programs that will improve the way we care for seniors who have dementia.


Our dementia certificate programs are highly beneficial as they:

  • Offer high quality education
  • Validate skill sets for associates
  • Ensure organizations stay up-to-date on the latest trends and research in the field of dementia care
