Our research strategy

The Alzheimer's Association is committed to accelerating the global effort to eliminate Alzheimer's disease. We are the largest private, nonprofit funder of Alzheimer research. We believe in the value of collaboration and are willing to imagine a time when we will have disease-modifying treatments, preventive strategies and gold-standard care for all people affected by Alzheimer's disease.

We fund — We have awarded in excess of $265 million to more than 1,800 projects over the life of our grants program.
We connect and convene — We provide global forums to advance the field through our international conference, our scientific journal and our professional society.
We collaborate — We find common ground and partner with our colleagues in government, academia, industry and other nonprofit organizations.
We advocate — We work to ensure that our policy and publicly funded research initiatives reflect the importance of Alzheimer's disease as a national health priority.
We seize opportunities — We remain flexible and nimble to identify issues, respond to evolving science and fill gaps.
