Through a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, Brain Canada will be funding Canadian-led teams who meet peer review recommendations.

Open to clinician scientists, which are as defined as an individual already trained, licensed and practicing in a clinical field that includes patient contact or patient-related diagnostic studies, this program supports the training of clinician scientists in the field of Alzheimer’s and all other dementias.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Fellowship for All (AARFA)
This program is designed to nurture the next generation of scientists by providing funding to postdoctoral researchers who have completed their doctoral training and are actively working in Alzheimer’s or dementia-related research under the mentorship of established investigators.
Alzheimer’s Association Research Grant For All (AARGA)
With the aim of providing newly independent investigators with funding that will allow them to develop preliminary or pilot data, to test procedures and to develop hypotheses, this program supports early-career researchers who have been in the position of an Assistant Professor or the equivalent for no more than seven years.
