The American Heart Association / Allen Initiative in Brain Health and Cognitive Impairment

The funders of tis call believe that the current dichotomy between cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative diseases, once considered mutually exclusive conditions, may impair a more effective approach to understanding and mitigating these disorders. Hence, they seek innovative proposals to disrupt the incremental trajectory of brain health research and open new frontiers of biomedical discovery to improve and lengthen lives.

The intent is to fund large-scale integrated research that will identify novel, early, actionable, biological / mechanistic contributors to age-related cognitive impairment.
