Small Research Grant Program for the Next Generation of Researchers in Alzheimer's Disease (R03)

This National Institute on Aging (NIA) Small Research Grant Program supports important and innovative research in areas in which more scientific investigation is needed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The program was developed from the New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer's Disease research program, launched in 2007 by The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR). The program aims to support the next generation of Alzheimer's disease researchers through funding and annual meetings that provide networking, mentorship, and leadership development opportunities. Awards provide two years of funding totaling $200,000 to support innovative research that advances strategies and tools needed to tackle Alzheimer's disease and its devastating impact on patients and caregivers.
