NEIL is an umbrella programme, comprised of several large-scale research initiatives that look for new ways to enhance cognitive function in older adults and to delay or prevent dementia in at risk populations. Research projects include RelAte: A relationship-based mealtime intervention for older adults living alone, CST, the development of a Caregiver Support Tool and the development of a range of educational resources for academics, health practitioners and members of the general public.

NILVAD is a European multicentre double-blind placebo-controlled phase III trial of nilvadipine in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. It represents 17 partners from 11 different countries and 23 different clinical trial sites. This 5 year double-blind placebo controlled study will test the efficacy and safety of nilvadipine in 500 subjects with mild to moderate AD over a treatment period of 18 months
Sampling and biomarker OPtimization and Harmonization In ALS and other motor neuron disease (SOPHIA)
SOPHIA is a consortium of 17 ALS centres in Europe. The consortium aim to develop a common strategy for the prioritization and harmonization of biomarkers for ALS and neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, it aims to validate neurochemical biomarkers for monitoring disease activity, for generating earlier diagnoses and for defining prognosis.

The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is a large-scale (n= approximately 8000 people), nationally representative study of people aged 50 and over in Ireland. It collects information on cognitive function in older adults in Ireland, based on objective measures of cognitive function and self-rated memory. It also provides important information on utilisation of health and social care services and on physical and behavioural health.
