Description
Brain Canada and the Alzheimer Society of Canada are pleased to announce the launch of the Knowledge Translation and Exchange (KTE) Accelerator Grants! The purpose of the KTE Accelerator Grants program is to help accelerate the dissemination of scientific findings on Alzheimer’s and related dementias to various audiences beyond academic researchers.
KTE Accelerator Grants are designed to stimulate innovative, out-of-the-box, ideas that ensure research translates into implementation and eventually impact. These grants provide researchers with the funding needed to develop KTE products relevant to their work in the field of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
Up to $200,000 CAD is available for up to three years. Total grant amounts are flexible to accommodate the needs required to produce a range of KTE products, but the minimum budget allowed is $5,000 CAD and the total budget cannot surpass $200,000 CAD.
Who can apply?
- Current and past Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) grant and award recipients
- Current and past recipients of a Brain Canada funded grant focused on Alzheimer’s and related dementias research
- Current research leads of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA)
