What is the Alzheimer Society doing to address the need for increased research funding?
The Alzheimer Society of Canada is a leading funder of Alzheimer research and research training in Canada, contributing close to $30 million in the past 20 years. In 2008, the Society and its partners funded over $2 million in support of both Biomedical and Quality of Life research fields. The Alzheimer Society Research Program represents the hope for tomorrow for all those we serve. Recognizing both the increasing need, and the fact that scientists are so close to developing treatments that stop the disease process, the Alzheimer Society is committing to increase its research funding significantly over the next three years. But we cannot do it alone. We need the help of every Canadian, and all levels of government, if we are going to meet our goals, and do our part of help eradicating dementia.
