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 Grant aims to fund investigators who are less than 15 years past their doctoral or post-residency (M.D. or D.O.). The purpose of this program is to provide newly independent investigators with funding that will allow them to develop preliminary or pilot data, to test procedures and to develop hypotheses. The intent is to support early-career development that will lay the groundwork for future research grant applications to federal or other funding entities, like the National Institutes of Health, including future proposals to the Alzheimer's Association.
Funding: $150’000
Duration: 3 years
Eligibility: Applicants must be Assistant Professors or above at their respective institution. Eligibility to apply for this grant competition is restricted to investigators who have less than 15 years of research experience after receipt of their terminal degree — doctorate or post-residency (M.D. or D.O.). Adjustments for career interruptions can be made. These can include, but are not limited to, family leave, military service and major illness or injury.
The sister programs AARG-D, AARG-NTF, and AARG-D-NTF are available for applicants who come from underrepresented groups and/.or are new to the field. For more guidance, see the 2020 program announcement.
