Around the world, the scientific community is devoting substantial effort and funding to Alzheimer's disease research. Researchers are looking for ways of preventing the disease, treatments to improve quality of life for people living with the disease and ultimately finding a cure to eradicate the disease.

Researchers are changing what it means to be diagnosed with dementia. They have made great strides in the area of early diagnosis, which in turn allows for immediate treatment that helps delay the onset of the disease.

Research Funding
Financial gifts directed towards research are crucial to help find better treatments and ultimately a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Without proper funding, research breakthroughs go undiscovered. Last year only one in every three approved research proposals were funded because we simply lacked the financial means to support them.
