The Ruth K. Broad Biomedical Research Foundation’s Collaborative Research Grant supports joint research by investigators at Duke and a second academic institution. The program aims to advance understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and related central nervous system diseases while exploring new and effective treatments. Collaboration across the two institutions is central to the award.
The Foundation specifically encourages promising studies that are premature to qualify for conventional National Institutes of Health funding. The award accommodates both early-career and established tenure-track investigators, bringing their research efforts together around disease understanding and treatment development. The Foundation is managed at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.
