Grant: Operating Grant: Voluntary Sector Knowledge Mobilization Support Grant

Public interest in complementary and alternative approaches to brain health is high, yet access to trustworthy, interpretable evidence remains limited. People affected by brain health conditions frequently encounter: ¿ Misinformation or overstated claims about CAM therapies ¿ Paywalled or technically inaccessible research ¿ Lack of context around evidence quality, funding sources, and study design ¿ Fragmented knowledge across platforms ¿ Difficult for the public to navigate ¿ Poorly contextualized for real-world decisions Main Objectives 1. Build a publicly accessible Evidence Explorer with neuroCAM filters, plain-language explanations, and access to supportive peer-reviewed literature in the form of a user-friendly MVP dashboard. 2. Curate evidence-based neuroCAM research associated with age-related neurodegenerative disorders, of interest to non-experts, researchers, policy makers, and clinicians. 3. Promote evidence literacy while avoiding medical advice or overclaiming 4. Create a scalable, low-cost, replicable infrastructure adaptable to other neurological conditions.
