Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADCs) are at major medical institutions across the U.S. They are funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Center staff conduct basic, clinical and behavioral research, and train scientists and health care providers who are new to Alzheimer research. The Centers also offer people with the disease and their families:
- Diagnosis and medical management
- Information about the disease, services and resources.
- Opportunities for volunteers to participate in drug trials, support groups, clinical research projects, and other special programs
