The Small Research Grant Program for the Next Generation of Researchers in AD/ADRD Research (R03 Clinical Trial Optional) from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) supports meritorious projects to provide needed scientific insight to improve the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and/or care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). Specifically, this funding program supports projects covering a wide range of topics related to AD/ADRD. The overall goal of this program is
- to encourage the next generation of researchers to pursue research and academic careers in AD/ADRD research; and
- to stimulate established researchers who have not had a major award in AD/ADRD research to perform pilot studies to develop new, innovative AD/ADRD research programs that leverage and build upon their existing expertise.
