Bennett was the recipient of the 2018 Potamkin Prize for Research in Pick's, Alzheimer's, and Related Diseases[4] "in recognition of methods he developed with colleagues to measure de novo synthesis of amyloid-beta (Abeta)."[5]

Bennett is the principal investigator of the National Institute on Aging (NIA) funded Religious Orders Study (ROS) and the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP).[6][7] Biospecimens and data from ROS and MAP are used as part of the NIH funded Accelerating Medicines Partnership for Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD).[8][9][10] He also leads the Pathology Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Study (PARDoS) in the state of Sao Paulo Brazil.[11]
