Overview

The Alzheimer's Association research grants program supports core goals of our mission. Thanks to our generous donors, the Association has become the largest private, nonprofit funder of Alzheimer research. Since awarding its first grants in 1982, the Association has committed over $220 million to more than 1,600 best-of-field grant proposals.

2008 Program Announcement (request for proposals)

The 2008 Program Announcement (download as a PDF file below) describes areas of focus for the 2008 program as well as specific grant competitions and funding levels.

Areas of focus are designed to elicit proposals spanning the entire spectrum of dementia research, from basic science to social and behavioral investigations. Grant competitions are structured to support researchers at every stage of their careers, from scientists less than 10 years past their doctoral degrees to internationally recognized thought leaders in the field.
