Description
The Alzheimer's Association Global Real-World Data Platforms (ALZ-RWD) Program supports initiatives to develop, expand, use, and align real-world data platforms, including their infrastructure, data, and impact. Building on the Alzheimer's Network for Treatment and Diagnostics (ALZ-NET), it funds platforms housing patient health and health care information collected in real-world settings to advance Alzheimer's disease and other dementia research and care.
Supported activities include platform development and expansion, platform utilization, data collection, data integration and linking, and data analysis and publication. Other projects may also be considered. The program prioritizes harmonization and collaboration across global platforms, including ALZ-NET, and work with the potential to advance health equity, such as making platform populations representative of defined communities.
