Objectives
The Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant – New to the Field (AARG-NTF) award aims to fund investigators who are new to Alzheimer’s and all other dementia field of research. The purpose of this program is to provide independent investigators with unique expertise and apply their knowledge to Alzheimer’s and all other dementias.
This program aims to provide these investigators with funding to establish a research path in Alzheimer’s and all other dementias, to develop preliminary or pilot data, to test procedures and to develop hypotheses. Individuals who are new to the field of neuroscience or neurodegeneration (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, etc.) will be considered for this program. The intent is to support research that will lay the groundwork for future research grant applications to federal or other funding entities, like the National Institutes of Health, including future proposals to the Alzheimer’s Association. The Alzheimer’s Association recognizes the need to increase the number of scientists from underrepresented groups in the research enterprise.
This program is not intended for investigators that have and/or are working in neurodegeneration-related research, nor early career researchers; this program is intended for investigators from other disciplines applying their expertise to Alzheimer’s and all other dementia research. The goal of the New to the Field program is to provide an opportunity for investigators with expertise outside neurodegenerative research to apply their expertise to advance and accelerate Alzheimer s and all other dementia. Competitive applications to this program emphasize how the specific expertise/approach will advance research.
The mechanism of the award is the individual research grant. The maximum allowable duration is three years (minimum two years).
