Based in the US, the Alzheimer’s Association seeks to treat, prevent and cure Alzheimer’s disease through research grant funding, enhancing care and support, and promoting brain health.

Together with the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR), the Association offers the Imaging Research in Alzheimer’s and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases funding programme. The goal of this programme is to provide support for the advancement of the field of imaging in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases by providing support for early stage pilot projects that will advance research to support the development of new novel imaging tools, to advance imaging-based research and to provide funding for novel and innovative imaging data analysis.

Applications are open internationally to neuroradiologists (MD, MD/PhD, DO) and scientists (PhD) with faculty appointments in radiology departments, including instructor, assistant, associate and full professor levels.

Three awards, each with a maximum budget of $200,000 (including no more than 10% indirect costs), are available for a one-year duration.
