Description

The Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) provides grants and awards to support Canadian research that promises new insights into causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. 

The Proof of Concept Grants are designed to fund innovative, high-risk and high-reward research that pushes beyond the boundaries of our existing understanding of dementia. Interested researchers must first submit a LOI. When deemed eligible they are invited to submit a full application.
