New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer's Disease

New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer's Disease Funded by The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and The Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation, the major goal of this partnership program is to support important research in areas in which more scientific investigation is needed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The program also serves to encourage junior investigators in the United States and Israel to pursue research and academic careers in the neurosciences, and Alzheimer's disease in particular. Projects in basic and translational research related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) that are clinically relevant, will be considered. Projects that focus on healthy brain aging are also considered. For one of the awards, priority may be given to an investigator with a research interest related to healthy brain aging. Areas of research could for example include learning and memory, nutrition, exercise, cardiovascular risk factors, as they relate to the brain and the aging process. Examples of promising areas of research include, but are not limited to: Basic mechanisms of aging in the central nervous system Learning and memory The Biology and Pathobiology of Synapses Genetics of AD Neuroimaging and precursors of AD Cellular and Molecular pathways of AD Biological Markers of AD Exercise, nutrition and dietary factors Neurogenesis and AD Impact of environmental agents in CNS ag...
