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.

Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity (AARG-D) - The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity is aimed to increase the number of scientist from underrepresented groups at academic institutions in Alzheimer’s or related dementias research. The AARG-D aims to fund investigators who are less than 10 years past their doctoral or post residency (MD or DO) or investigators that are new to the field of neuroscience or neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, etc) will be considered.
