Indiana University Pursues Dementia Research With Fourth NIH Center Grant

The exploration of dementia will continue at the Indiana University School of Medicine with the renewal of a National Institutes of Health grant for $7.3 million to fund the Indiana Alzheimer Disease Center. This is the fourth renewal of the original center grant which was awarded in 1991.

The NIH-funded Alzheimer disease centers are comprehensive programs that foster interdisciplinary research for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer disease and other dementias. Health-care delivery and other support services for patients and their families are part of the centers’ focus.

There are 29 NIH-funded Alzheimer disease centers in the United States.
