Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

  • Multi-site clinical trials at coordinating centers (Wake Forest, WashU)
  • Public policy advocacy through affiliate Alzheimer's Impact Movement
  • Imaging and biomarker registries via American College of Radiology
  • ~$200,000 investigator awards at roughly 150 universities
  • Dementia care training for primary care and family physicians
  • Small industry partnerships with drug developers (Alnylam, Denali)

Typical grant

Median is $250,000 and the middle half runs $199,986 to $648,156, so the ordinary award is a single investigator-scale grant right at or just under $200,000. The eight-figure checks go to trial coordinating centers and the Chicago advocacy affiliate, and those repeat every year: Wake Forest, Washington University in St. Louis, USC, UCSF, Broad, Stanford, Mass General and Indiana all appear in both 2023 and 2024. Below $1M the roster turns over more, with 174 recipients across 263 grants.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • "PROGRAM SUPPORT"
  • "RESEARCH FOUNDATION"
  • "HEALTH SCIENCES"
  • "SCHOOL OF MEDICINE"
  • "ALZHEIMER'S IMPACT MOVEMENT"

Positioning adjacent work

  • Budget to $199,000-$200,000. That band holds dozens of awards and reads as their standard investigator size.
  • Tie work to funded themes: lifestyle prevention trials, amyloid/PET biomarkers, or genomics through the Broad.
  • Route through a medical school or university research foundation; nearly every recipient is one of those two.
  • Underserved-population sites get funded: New Mexico HSC, UT Rio Grande Valley, Louisiana-Lafayette, Augusta. Say so explicitly.

Worth knowing: A handful of recipients absorb most of the money: Alzheimer's Impact Movement, the organization's own advocacy affiliate, takes over $10M a year, and Wake Forest and Washington University together take roughly as much again, so the pool below $1M is what a new applicant is realistically competing for. Every purpose line in the filings reads only "PROGRAM SUPPORT," giving no written signal on priorities beyond who gets paid, and the geographic spread (CA 35, NY 24, MA 21) tracks established NIH-funded Alzheimer's centers rather than any regional preference.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
