Results and Publications
Since its inception the Bluefield Project has made remarkable progress. We have advanced our research priorities, generated significant core research reagents and established a highly productive working infrastructure. Bluefield investigators have leveraged their results into federally financed research grants, thus increasing the resources supporting frontotemporal dementia research. Maximizing both private and public support for frontotemporal dementia research is a central goal of the Bluefield Project.
To date, publications whose work was supported by Bluefield funding include:
