      About Research Grants Program The Alzheimer's Association funds independent investigators worldwide through our International Research Grants Program. Since awarding our first grants in 1982, the Association has grown into the largest private, nonprofit funder of Alzheimer research. Over the life of our grants program, we have awarded in excess of $279 million to more than 1,900 projects. We fund investigations that advance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, identify new treatment strategies, improve care for people with dementia, optimize services for their families, and further our knowledge of brain health and disease prevention. Our funding is peer reviewed by a vast international network of volunteer scientists and quality-assured by our Medical and Scientific Advisory Council, a group of distinguished professionals who represent a range of dementia research, including bench research, clinical care, community health and support services.
