Dr. Grant graduated from Andrews University with a B.S. in Biology in 2013, followed by an M.Sc. in Neuroscience from Carleton University in 2016. He obtained his M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology Emphasis) at Wayne State University in 2022. 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 Fall 2024 and will transition to tenure-track assistant professor in Fall 2026. 

As the director of the Cognitive Health in Late Life (CHILL) Lab, his research aims to promote brain health in populations at greatest risk for Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's Disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). The lab's current research topics include: (1) examining factors that increase the risk of cognitive decline and contribute to health inequities in AD/ADRD (cardiometabolic disease, neighborhood disadvantage); (2) investigating factors that decrease the risk of cognitive decline (cognitive reserve, physical exercise, social support) and non-pharmacological interventions tailored to underrepresented groups, and (3) exploring multivariate approaches to identifying cognitive decline in older adults. 

His research has been funded by the Alzheimer's Association, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) Health Equity Scholars Program, the Florida Department of Health, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. He is also a graduate of the National Institute on Aging's (NIA) Butler-Williams Scholars Program and the Black Men's Brain Health Emerging Scholars Program.
