Funding, News and Announcements

The Alzheimer Society of Canada is pleased to share details of a new application process for the Proof of Concept Grant, the cornerstone of innovation and excellence in the Alzheimer Society Research Program.

The Proof of Concept Grant provides $100,000 over up to 3 years to support investigators with innovative, high-risk, high-yield hypotheses about dementia.

New this year, the Research Program will pre-screen applications for the Proof of Concept Grant through a Letter of Intent (LOI) process. Successful LOI applicants will then be asked to submit a full application for peer review later in the summer.

Researchers with big, bold, outside-the-box ideas relevant to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are encouraged to apply.

The LOI form is available now with submissions due by July 6, 2021.

For more information and to read the complete guidelines, visit the website.

Please share this information with anyone who might be interested in applying.
