Now Open: Funding Opportunities for Postdoctoral Fellows, Early-Career Investigators, and Clinician-Scientists in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research
Brain Canada is excited to partner with the Alzheimer’s Association on the International Research Grant Program (IRGP).
The International Research Grant Program (IRGP)
The program funds research that will advance our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, identify new treatment strategies, improve care for people with dementia, and further our knowledge of brain health and disease prevention.
The Alzheimer's Association and Brain Canada Foundation are pleased to consider partnership for successful Canadian-led applications.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship for All (AARFA)
This program is designed to nurture the next generation of scientists by providing funding to postdoctoral researchers who have completed their doctoral training and are actively working in Alzheimer’s or dementia-related research under the mentorship of established investigators. It aims to facilitate the transition of postdoctoral fellows toward becoming independent researchers, equipped to lead their own innovative studies in the field of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant For All (AARGA)
This program aims to fund early-career investigators who have been in the position of Assistant Professor or the equivalent for no more than seven (7) years. The purpose of this program is to provide newly independent investigators with funding that will allow them to develop preliminary or pilot data, to test procedures and to develop hypotheses.
Alzheimer’s Association Clinician Scientist Fellowship for All (AACSFA)
This program is designed to support the training of clinician scientists in Alzheimer's and all other dementias. For the purpose of this program, a clinician scientist is defined as an individual already trained, licensed and practicing in a clinical field that includes patient contact (e.g., neurology, psychiatry, geriatrics, psychology) or patient-related diagnostic studies (e.g., neuropathology and radiology).
