Additionally, Dr. Clark has secured two separate Center for Aging Population Sciences Pilot Awards:
-
- “Sociobiological Pathways of Risk and Resiliency to ADRD in Black and Latino Older Adults” a collaboration with fellow HABS-HD researchers, Drs. Robert Barber and Nicole Phillips at The University of North Texas Health Science Center.

Furthermore, one of Dr. Clark’s PhD students was honored with the best Graduate Student Research Award at INS in February 2024, a testament to her mentorship and guidance.
Lastly, Dr. Clark’s work with Dr. Stephanie Grasso, titled “Bilingual neurocognitive resiliency, vulnerability, and Alzheimer’s disease biomarker correlates in Latino older adults enrolled in the Health and Aging Brain Study – Health Disparities (HABS-HD),” was published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia’s Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring (DADM) in December 2023.
