Funded by the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and the Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation and administered by the American Federation for Aging Research, the New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer's Disease program is designed to support research in areas in which more scientific investigation is needed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The program also serves to encourage junior investigators in the United States and Israel to pursue research and academic careers in the neurosciences, and Alzheimer's disease in particular.
Projects in basic and translational research related to Alzheimer's disease that are clinically relevant will be considered. Projects that focus on healthy brain aging also will be considered. Areas of research could, for example, include learning and memory, nutrition, exercise, and cardiovascular risk factors as they relate to the brain and the aging process.
Applicants must be independent investigators with independent research space, and must be no more than ten years beyond the start of their postdoctoral research training as of July 1, 2013. (Exceptions to the ten-year rule may be requested for unusual circumstances.) The proposed research must be conducted at any type of not-for-profit setting in the United States or Israel.
It is anticipated that up to four grants of $100,000 will be awarded in 2013. Applicants may propose to use the award over the course of one or two years as justified by the proposed research. Up to 8 percent of funds may be budgeted for overhead or indirect costs (not to exceed $7,407).
Complete program guidelines and application instructions are available at the AFAR Web site.
