Funding Program for Global Real-World Data Platforms (ALZ-RWD) | Alzheimer’s Association

The collection of Real-World Data (RWD) is integral to the discovery, evaluation and evolution of novel avenues for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care of Alzheimer’s and other dementia. This includes understanding the long-term effects of any new treatment approach. To support the advancement of and opportunities for RWD platforms, the Alzheimer’s Association is launching a peer-reviewed funding program to augment and accelerate global initiatives aimed at developing, expanding and aligning RWD platforms’ infrastructure, data and impact.

The Alzheimer’s Association has allocated up to USD $5,000,000 to fund the ALZ-RWD Program over the next three years and will accept submissions on a rolling basis.

As the scope and duration of funding will differ with each individual application, it is anticipated that funding will range from USD$100,000 up to a maximum grant amount of USD$1,000,000. Project duration is 12-24 months. Each RWD platform is limited to one unique award through this program’s first iteration; with potential for follow-on funding.
