Summary
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a public health challenge that grows in urgency every year. As the world’s largest dedicated voluntary health organization to AD and related dementia (ADRD), the Alzheimer’s Association has a vision of a world without AD and ADRD. In addition to providing care and support in communities across the United States and actively pursuing advocacy for federal research support and community needs,it is committed to advancing vital research toward methods of treatment, prevention, and a cure. In addition to financial support to researchers worldwide, it promotes the sharing of knowledge and data, gathering key stakeholders form the field, including academia, federal, non-profit and industry to advance research (such as through the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference) and accelerating clinical trial research though Alzheimer’s Association TrialMatc. The Association’s funding expands the full spectrum of research, with focused funding on drug development and early-phase human trials.
