BID Project: Behavioral Insight group for social protection and health policies: A lifespan approach

«Behavioral Perspectives Group for Social Protection and Health Policies: A Lifecycle Approach». The project developed over 3 years, three Regional Public Goods (BPR) that are critical for regional development in relevant health issues. The first priority (BPR 1) of the project will be the development of a pioneering regional institution dedicated to the application of knowledge of behavior to health. BPR 2 will consist of the design of an intervention program to measure and improve cognition and language in children in vulnerable conditions. Finally, BPR 3 will consist of the expansion of a multilevel platform for accurate diagnosis and research on dementia and pathological aging. These three BPRs will promote the scalable expansion of the project and the development of parallel initiatives to maximize their impact.

The INECO Foundation (Argentina) will be the executing agency of the Project. (Argentina: Institute of Cognitive and Translational Neuroscience, INCYT, Chile: Center for Social and Cognitive Neuroscience, Center for Social and Cognitive Neuroscience, Adolfo Ibáñez University, Geroscience Center for Brain Health and Metabolism, Uruguay: CIBPsi, Universidad de la República , Uruguayan Center for Molecular Imaging-CUDIM).
