The Alzheimer's Association is committed to accelerating the global effort to eliminate Alzheimer's disease. We are the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's research. We believe in the value of collaboration and are a catalyst toward the time when we will have disease-modifying treatments, preventive strategies and gold-standard care for all people affected by Alzheimer's disease.

We connect with scientific, academic, government and industry thought-leaders and key stakeholders worldwide. You can learn more about the global effort to defeat Alzheimer’s Disease by visiting these sites:
