Description
Cure Alzheimer’s Fund supports bold, high-impact scientific investigations with strong potential to advance prevention, risk reduction, and disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The program emphasizes foundational, translational, and drug discovery research—including genetic risk factors, biomarkers, novel Alzheimer’s genes, immune response, enabling technologies, and clinical trial design. Projects must directly address Alzheimer’s disease, and the fund prioritizes approaches that meaningfully contribute to eventual therapies or a cure.
