The Alzheimer’s Association aims to lead the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
The Alzheimer's Association Research Grant (AARG) program aims to support early-career investigators within 18 years of their doctoral degree or post-residency. The grant focuses on funding projects that allow recipients to develop preliminary data, test procedures, and formulate hypotheses to lay the groundwork for future research applications. It seeks to bolster early-career development in Alzheimer's and other dementias research, with an emphasis on increasing participation from scientists from underrepresented groups. The award totals up to $200,000 over a maximum of three years, with specific budgetary limitations per year and restrictions on indirect costs.
