Program areas at CAF

In 2023, Cure Alzheimer's Fund supported 114 Research projects at 53 leading Research institutions, for Research output of more than $27.7 million. Many projects pursued a deeper understanding of the mechanisms of action of the genes and variants with the biggest impact on risk and timing of Alzheimer's Disease. Other projects pursued novel theories and tools to assess potential avenues for prevention and treatment, in particular regarding the role of the gut microbiome and immune system in healthy brain function. Additional expenses include husbandry of transgenic animal models by a contract Research organization; the direct support of facilitating grants and the award process; and costs associated with assessing Research proposals and determining funding priorities.
Creating awareness took the form of mailings, outreach, and support of third party events designed to raise awareness about the need of more Research into the origins and progression of Alzheimer's Disease.
