This opportunity provides support for established investigators to enhance the research and educational infrastructure, mentorship, and career development activities in aging and/or Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) at their academic institution. The goal is to expand institutional capacity in these fields, foster the development of early-career investigators, and implement innovative programs such as courses, curricula, pilot funding, travel awards, visiting scholars, and research networks.
Applicants may not propose to lead an independent clinical trial, but may gain research experience in a clinical trial led by another investigator.
