Description
Brain Canada is proud to be supporting the Alzheimer Society of Canada for the 2025-2026 Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP)
The Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) is a successful initiative, within which all regional Alzheimer Societies, the Alzheimer Society of Canada (ASC), partners and donors collaborate to support research that alleviates the personal and social consequences of dementia and brings us closer to a world without dementia.
The ASRP provides grants and awards to support research in Canada that promise new insights into causes, risk reduction, diagnosis, treatment and management of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Brain Canada will be co-funding two types of grants.
- New Investigator Operating Grants are designed to help launch the careers of outstanding researchers who are within the first six (6) years of their initial academic appointment.
- Proof of Concept Grants are designed to fund innovative, potentially high-challenge, and high-reward research that pushes the boundaries of our existing understanding of dementia.
Evidence clearly shows that increasing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in research environments enhances excellence, innovation, and creativity. Brain Canada is committed to excellence through equity, and we encourage applicants of diverse backgrounds to apply to our funding opportunities, which will promote the expression of diverse perspectives, approaches, and experiences, including those of underrepresented groups.
