The Alzheimer’s Association aims to lead the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
The Alzheimer’s Association World Wide FINGERS Network Funding Program (ALZ WW-FNFP) seeks to support the first global network of multidomain lifestyle intervention trials for dementia risk reduction and prevention. The program provides seed funding and opportunities to advance WW-FINGERS network studies, aiming to test and optimize the FINGER-like model across varying geographical, cultural, and economic settings to lower the risk of cognitive decline among aging individuals at greater risk. Funding supports start-up costs for infrastructure, pilot studies, supplemental support for ongoing or newly established studies, and enhancements like adding new measures or assessments. The program is competitive, supporting projects with up to USD$1,000,000 over three years and encourages applications from its network of over 40 countries, anticipating most requests within the USD$200,000-$400,000 yearly range.
