Centers without Walls for mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD)

Funds a multi-institution consortium investigating the mechanisms behind neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's-related dementias.

ClosedNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Some neurodegeneration questions are too tangled for a single lab to answer alone, and this notice funds a consortium built to take one on: a Centers without Walls network investigating the mechanisms behind neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease-related dementias.

The model is a collaborative research network across institutions, using an activity code the notice is still considering โ€” it nameโ€ฆ

A multi-institution Centers without Walls consortium investigating mechanisms of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease-related dementias, combining advanced technologies, disease-relevant models, clinical science and human specimens to identify disease mechanisms, therapeutic targets and biomarkers, with one awardee coordinating data harmonisation and rigor across the whole network.
