(NIA) The National Institute on Aging funds Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADCs) at major medical institutions across the United States. Researchers at these Centers are working to translate research advances into improved diagnosis and care for people with Alzheimer’s disease while focusing on the program’s long-term goal—finding a way to cure and possibly prevent Alzheimer’s.
Areas of investigation range from the basic mechanisms of Alzheimer’s to managing the symptoms and helping families cope with the effects of the disease. Center staff conduct basic, clinical, and behavioral research and train scientists and healthcare providers.
Although each center has its own area of emphasis, a common goal of the ADCs is to enhance research on Alzheimer’s disease by creating a network that shares new ideas and research results. Collaborative studies draw upon the expertise of scientists from many different disciplines.
For patients and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, the ADCs offer:
- Help with obtaining diagnosis and medical management (costs may vary—Centers may accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance)
- Information about the disease, services, and resources
- Opportunities for volunteers to participate in clinical trials and studies and patient registries
- Support groups and other special programs for volunteers and their families
Some ADCs have satellite facilities that offer these services in underserved, rural, and minority communities.
National NIA-funded research resources are listed at the end of the directory.
For more information, contact any of the Centers in the directory below.
