Stimulating and Accelerating Alzheimer's and Related Dementias Research at NIH
NIH National Institutes of Health Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias
Through NIH's Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD), researchers work across scientific domains and disease boundaries to bridge basic, preclinical, and clinical research with the goal of accelerating translational research on these devastating diseases.
Mission and Philosophy
CARD is a collaborative initiative of the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke that supports basic, translational, and clinical research on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. CARD’s central mission is to initiate, stimulate, accelerate, and support research that will lead to the development of improved treatments and preventions for these diseases.
Their vision is to advance Alzheimer’s and related dementias research through a data-driven and collaborative approach that emphasizes robust, replicable findings and cooperative progress over individual success. CARD scientists engage and collaborate with researchers in government, academia, and industry to create foundational resources and expertise that add broad value to the Alzheimer’s and related dementias field. They work across scientific domains and disease boundaries to bridge basic, preclinical, and clinical research with the goal of accelerating translational research on these devastating diseases.
