Recently completed

Topics

Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) are a group of neurodegenerative disorders that cause devastating impacts to health, affecting over 6.5 million Americans. Despite recent advances in the understanding of these disorders, there remains significant need for progress to effectively prevent and treat AD/ADRD. An ad hoc committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will conduct a study to assess the current state of research on AD/ADRD and identify research priorities for treating and preventing AD/ADRD.
