Description
The ISTAART Grant Program for Conferences and Convenings (IGPCC), offered by the Alzheimer's Association, funds innovative events and initiatives led by Professional Interest Areas (PIAs) within the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment (ISTAART). The goal is to foster networking, stimulate new research discussions, and expand the impact of ISTAART globally.

The program prioritizes new and unique initiatives that have not received funding in the prior 24 months and that directly enhance ISTAART’s mission.
