Ozioma Okonkwo, PhD, has been invited to lead the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)'s new Diversity Taskforce. This taskforce will work to develop strategies to increase the rate of recruitment of under-represented minorities, analyze and publish existing ADNI data related to diversity and health disparities, and generate scientific aims relevant to health disparities for the study.

ADNI is a longitudinal multi-center study with 63 contributing sites, including the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC).
