Description
The Alzheimer's Association's ISTAART Grant Program for Conferences and Convenings supports Professional Interest Area (PIA)-driven initiatives within the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART). It funds new opportunities for research discussion, training, networking, and information exchange that increase PIAs' reach and impact and advance dementia science.
Supported activities include PIA-led conferences, educational workshops, and events at national or international meetings, excluding Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) meetings. The program seeds innovative initiatives rather than repeatedly funding the same activities. Cross-PIA collaborations are encouraged, and preference goes to PIAs and events that have not previously received an award. Returning initiatives must demonstrate novelty and wait at least 24 months after their last IGPCC award before reapplying.
