Dr. Jeremy G. Grant is a clinical neuropsychologist and the director of the Cognitive Health in Late Life (CHILL) Lab.
He completed a bachelor’s degree in biology at Andrews University and a master’s degree in neuroscience from Carleton University. He obtained a master’s degree and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Wayne State University. He subsequently completed a predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology in the Department of Clinical & Health Psychology at the University of Florida. He joined Ohio State as an instructor in Autumn 2024 and will transition to tenure-track assistant professor in Autumn 2026.
His research focuses on behavioral interventions to promote brain health in populations at greatest risk for dementia. He currently investigates primary prevention of cognitive decline through multidomain, non-pharmacological interventions designed to reduce dementia risk among adults with cardiometabolic disease. In the area of secondary prevention, he studies strategies to help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) delay progression to dementia through evidence-based cognitive rehabilitation. Dr. Grant also examines the use of community-based cognitive screenings to support early detection of cognitive decline and to engage underrepresented populations in dementia research. His long-term goal is to develop scalable, culturally responsive, community-based interventions that effectively promote brain health and mitigate cognitive decline.
His work has been funded by the Alzheimer's Association, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Health Enhancement Scientific Program, the Florida Department of Health, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
