Program Objective
The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the need to support the training of clinician scientists in Alzheimer's and all other dementias. For the purpose of this program, a clinician scientist is defined as an individual already trained, licensed and practicing in a clinical field that includes patient contact (e.g., neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics, psychology) or patient-related diagnostic studies (e.g., neuropathology and radiology).
In line with this program, individuals from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply for grants and / or pursue specific career paths in Alzheimer’s and related dementia research. The Association believes that there is clinical and scientific value in having broad representation within relevant fields that reflects society.
