The Power of Community Engagement: Transforming Black Men’s Participation in Brain Health and AD/ADRD Research.
About this Event

The staggering amount of ethnoracial inequalities in healthcare has been documented and researched for decades. Today, the 2026 BMBH Conference continues this effort to further understand health inequities that affect Black men as they age over the life course.

The fifth annual BMBH Conference, with no registration fee, will reinvent how communities engage in and benefit from scientific research. For too long, the scientific and medical fields have been criticized for research that provides little lasting value to participating communities. By centering community voices, this conference aims to tap into genuine engagement and transform Black men’s roles in brain health and AD/ADRD research.

We seek to educate and engage with students, academics, athletes, organizers, researchers, and corporations who believe in the power of WE. Together, we can improve outcomes through an intentional focus on a population that has long been overlooked or marginalized.

This is an inclusive event and we welcome everyone from all race/ethnicities, education levels, professions, genders, and ages to attend this conference whether in-person or online.

Thank you for your registration!
