Alzheimer’s Association Health Services Research in Alzheimer’s disease and Related Disorders Program
Brain Canada is excited to support the Alzheimer’s Association on the Alzheimer’s Association Health Services Research in Alzheimer’s disease and Related Disorders (HSR-ADRD) Program.
The HSR-ADRD program is aimed at advancing health services research that ensures high-quality, equitable, and person-centered brain health and dementia care along the healthcare continuum, across communities and settings.
This program seeks proposals that utilize rigorous methodologies to advance understanding and improvement of cognitive impairment, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) detection, diagnosis, and post-diagnostic care.
This award is structured as an individual research grant, with funding administered through the recipient’s institution. Proposals should address one or more Areas of Focus. Areas of Focus represent high-priority research topics for which this program is actively seeking proposals and include:
The Value of Early Detection and Diagnosis: Studies should investigate outcomes associated with early detection and diagnosis on at least two levels of the dementia care ecosystem (i.e., individual/families, providers/clinicians, health systems/payers, and policy/society).
Care Pathways for Individuals with MCI or Dementia: Studies should consider comorbidities and investigate how people are being screened and diagnosed in different settings, and the post-diagnosis pathways for care and treatment, including pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions or combinations thereof.
The Alzheimer's Association and Brain Canada Foundation are pleased to consider partnership for successful Canadian-led applications.
