AHAF invites applications for research program in Alzheimer’s Disease for which more than $78 million to support promising research in fields ranging from molecular biology to epidemiology.
The program gives preference to exciting, cutting-edge type projects that would not, at their present stage, be competitive for large government or industry awards. ADR awards are typically made to junior investigators, or to more established investigators who are proposing particularly innovative research.
The program offers three types of awards–
- The ADR Standard Award provides $400,000 over three years to researchers who have already generated some amount of preliminary data but who still require significant support for further research before they can apply to government or industry funding agencies.
- The ADR Pilot Award provides $150,000 over two years for highly innovative proposals with minimal preliminary data. These awards are typically described as being “high risk/high reward.” Pilot awards are often given to investigators who need funding to demonstrate the validity of a very focused hypothesis.
- The ADR Postdoctoral Fellowship Award provides $100,000 over two years to young researchers in the final stages of mentored training. These awards are meant to fund projects in an established laboratory that will serve as the basis for the applicant’s own independent research career.
Eligibility–
