The Brain Health Medicines Scholar Award provides funding and drug development support to researchers whose work aims to treat, prevent, or cure Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.  The award may be used for PI’s salary (up to 10% of the total), and additional personnel (collaborators, post-docs, etc.) in a proportionate amount to the time spent on the project.  There is potential to renew for a second year and an opportunity to qualify for up to $400,000 in additional funding and drug development support.  IP rights are retained by the awardee or their institution.
