New Report looks at 10 years of the New Investigators Awards in Alzheimer’s Disease program


The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and AFAR have published the report, “New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer’s Disease Research: A Successful Model for Investing in Futures.”


The report looks at the first ten years of the New Investigator Awards in Alzheimer’s Disease research program and describes the program’s evolution, accomplishments, responsiveness to emerging needs in the field, and lessons learned.

We hope the report will be of value to others who are committed to advancing research and career development in Alzheimer’s disease.

The full report can be downloaded here.

Since 2007, The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation has invested $3.7 million to support New Investigators in the United States and Israel conducting Alzheimer’s disease research.
