Alzheimer's Drug-Development Program
Funds early drug candidates for Alzheimer's disease, from lab bench through the first human safety trial.
The riskiest, most expensive stretch of drug development sits between finding something promising and watching it survive a first human test, and that stretch is exactly where good Alzheimer's candidates run out of money. This notice funds crossing it.

Preclinical through early-stage, Phase I, clinical development of novel small-molecule and biologic drug candidates to prevent, slow the progression of, or treat the cognitive and behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, run in the investigator's own laboratory or through contract research organizations specializing in preclinical drug development.
