Alzheimer's Association: Conference Grants Program

The support of conferences, workshops and meetings has been a key vehicle to achieve increase of public awareness and to facilitate the exchange of information through the scientific and clinical communities. The range of acceptable topics is as broad as the entire arena of Alzheimer‘s disease research and includes, but is not limited to:
- Patient care and outcomes;
- Family and social support;
- Care settings;
- Etiology and pathophysiology;
- Risk factors and epidemiology;
- Diagnosis;
- Management, treatment and clinical trials of new therapies;
- Prevention.
Population and patient diversity must be key considerations in the development of all conference proposals. Funding: support requests must be limited to no more than $10,000 per conference. Most awarded conference support requests have been in the range of $2000 to $5000.
