Aim: The Alzheimer's Association International Research Grant Program funds investigations to advance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, identify new treatment strategies, improve care for people with dementia and further our knowledge of brain health and disease prevention. The Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship award is intended to support exceptional researchers who are engaged in their post-graduate work (i.e. postdoctoral fellows), before they have their first independent faculty positions.

Each PI must list a mentor who will follow his/her project.
The sister program AARF-D is available for applicants who have been determined to be scientists from underrepresented groups in biomedical and behavioral research on a national or institutional basis. For more guidance, see the 2020 program announcement.
How to Apply: The two-step submission process begins with a letter of intent, which can be submitted on proposalCENTRAL.
