Frequently Asked Questions
What grants are available for Alzheimer's and dementia work?
Funding supports research that advances understanding, treatment, and prevention of Alzheimer's and related dementias, as well as programs that improve care and support for people with dementia and their families. The Alzheimer's Association funds a wide range of projects, from basic discovery science to studies on social, behavioral, and care-related aspects of the disease, offering multiple funding opportunities throughout the year.
Who funds Alzheimer's and dementia research?
The Alzheimer's Association is the largest private nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's research, having awarded thousands of grants since 1982 and currently supporting more than a thousand active projects worldwide. The National Institute on Aging at NIH is the dominant federal funder of dementia research. Other disease and aging foundations also support targeted research and care initiatives.
Are these grants only for researchers?
Research grants make up much of this funding and typically support investigators at universities and medical institutions. However, funding also exists for care, support, and community programs that help people living with dementia and their caregivers, often available to nonprofits and service organizations. Confirm whether an opportunity targets research or programs, since eligibility and required credentials differ significantly between the two.
