Description
The Florida Department of Health runs this program to improve the health of Floridians through Alzheimer’s disease research. It supports work ranging from exploratory studies to developed research projects and clinical-center consortia, as well as postdoctoral research fellowship training. The program prioritizes research designed to prevent or cure the disease while expanding knowledge and stimulating related economic activity in Florida.
For this funding opportunity, projects must address one of five priority areas: behavioral and social needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease and caregivers; therapeutic targets, disease mechanisms, and biomarkers; collaborative clinical research; epidemiology relevant to Floridians; or patient-oriented research fellowship training. Research infrastructure applications assigned exceptional scientific merit may receive preferential funding.
