Overview

The Arizona Alzheimer’s Consortium (AAC) is recognized as the nation’s leading model for statewide collaboration in Alzheimer’s disease research. The AAC supports a broad range of studies—including basic, clinical, biomedical, translational, epidemiological, caregiving, educational, and behavioral research—focused on Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), and brain aging.

At the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix, we are excited to expand our participation in the AAC and strengthen our contributions to Alzheimer’s research across the state.

We encourage investigators to apply to the three annual AAC project calls, including our internal College of Medicine – Phoenix funding opportunity.
