Description:

Applications should focus on challenging new directions in research into Alzheimer's and related dementias or come from fields not usually associated with Alzheimer's research.

The most favoured applications in this category of awards are those which (a) focus on challenging new directions in research into Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, directions that are less likely to be funded by national funding agencies, perhaps because of insufficient preliminary data or the unorthodoxy of the research rationale or approach, and/or (b) are submitted by established researchers in fields not usually associated with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research, who are proposing to apply their special approaches and techniques to novel projects clearly relevant to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Application Details:

The ASRP focuses on two research streams: Quality of Life Stream: $60K/year for two years | Biomedical Stream: $75K/year for two years. They reserve the right to allocate an application to the appropriate review panel.

The maximum amount awarded is $60,000/year for a maximum of two years for applications in the Quality of Life stream and $75,000/year for a maximum of two years for applications in the Biomedical stream.
