About

The Roybal Center, led by scientists at the University of Michigan and Penn State, will translate basic discoveries about motivation and behavior change into scalable and potent interventions. Our work bridges science and everyday life by creating accessible, individualized interventions for brain and body health. By harnessing new technology and building a strong scientific community, we aim to help people move more, remember more, and thrive as they age. Learn more at roybal.umich.edu.
