Research
The Alzheimer Society is a leading source of funds for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research in Canada. Together with its partners, the Society has contributed approximately $30 million dollars to research in Canada since the inception of its research program 20 years ago. In 2008, the Society and its partners funded 27 new grants and training awards, amounting to over $2 million to speed up the search for the causes and cure of Alzheimer’s disease, and improve the lives of those affected.
Committed to supporting research into all aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, the Alzheimer Society provides grants and training awards that fund research at Canadian universities and hospitals and help nurture new talent. Canadian researchers supported by the Alzheimer Society have made major advances, including discoveries related to genetic causes of the disease. The Society places equal importance on biomedical research that provides insights into Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and on quality of life research that leads to improvements in care.
