Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant (AARG)
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant aims to fund investigators who are less than 15 years past their doctoral or post residency (MD or DO). 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. Applicants must be Assistant Professors or above at their respective institution.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity (AARG-D)
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity award is up to three years (minimum 2 years) to increase the number of scientists from underrepresented groups at academic institutions in Alzheimer’s or all dementias research. The AARG-D aims to fund investigators who are less than 15 years past their doctoral or post residency (MD or DO). Applicants must be Assistant Professors or above at their respective institution.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant - New to the Field (AARG-NTF)
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant – New to the Field aims to fund investigators who are new to Alzheimer’s and all dementia field of research. The purpose of this program is to provide independent investigators with unique expertise and apply their knowledge to Alzheimer’s and all dementias. This program is not intended for investigators that have and/or are working in neurodegeneration-related research; this program is intended for investigators from other disciplines applying their expertise to Alzheimer’s and all dementia research. The goal of the New to the Field program is to provide an opportunity for investigators with expertise outside neurodegenerative research to apply their expertise to advance and accelerate Alzheimer’s disease and all dementia research. Competitive applications to this program emphasize how the specific expertise/approach will advance research.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity - New to the Field (AARG-D-NTF)
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant to Promote Diversity- New to the Field award is up to three years (minimum 2 years) to increase the number of scientists from underrepresented groups at academic institutions in Alzheimer’s and all dementia research. The AARG-D-NTF aims to fund individuals that are new to Alzheimer’s and all dementia field of research. The goal of the New to the Field program is to provide an opportunity for investigators with expertise outside neurodegenerative research to apply their expertise to advance and accelerate Alzheimer’s disease and all dementia research. Competitive applications to this program emphasize how the specific expertise/approach will advance research.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship (AARF)
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship Award is up to three years (minimum 2 years) intended to support exceptional researchers who are engaged in their post-graduate work (i.e. postdoctoral fellows) and before they have their first independent faculty positions (i.e. Assistant Professor) and working in diverse areas of research, including basic, translational, clinical, functional and social-behavioral research. Individuals who have a position of an Assistant Professorship or above are not eligible.

Alzheimer’s Association Clinician Scientist Fellowship (AACSF)
The Alzheimer's Association recognizes the need to support the training of clinician scientists in Alzheimer's and all 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.,neuropathologyand radiology). Applicants who hold an M.D. or D.O. degree or applicants with a Ph.D. who have licensure for clinical practice are eligible. Please note: individuals applying to the program will be accepted from individuals with full time positions at their respective institution who are within 10 years of receiving their M.D., D.O. or Ph.D. (or equivalent) , including postdoctoral fellows through Assistant Professors. Positions higher than Assistant Professor will not be considered. Please note individuals must be currently in a clinical setting.
Alzheimer’s Association Clinician Scientist Fellowship to Promote Diversity (AACSF-D)
The Alzheimer’s Association Clinician Scientist Fellowship to Promote Diversity is up to three years (minimum 2 years) and is intended to support exceptional clinician scientists who are currently underrepresented at academic institutions in clinical research training in Alzheimer's and all dementias. Applicants who hold an M.D. or D.O. degree or applicants with a Ph.D. who have licensure for clinical practice are eligible. Please note: individuals applying to the program will be accepted from individuals with full time positions at their respective institution who are within 10 years of receiving their M.D., D.O. or Ph.D. (or equivalent), including postdoctoral fellows through Assistant Professors.
