Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers Across the country

Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers*

About the Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADC's)
The National Institute on Aging currently funds 29 Alzheimer’s Disease Centers (ADC’s) at major medical institutions across the nation. In addition, there are three Affiliate Centers. Researchers at these centers are working to translate research advances into improved care and diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients while, at the same time, focusing on the program’s long-term goal--finding a way to cure and possibly prevent AD.

Areas of investigation range from the basic mechanisms of AD to managing the symptoms and helping families cope with the effects of the disease. Center staff conduct basic, clinical, and behavioral research, and train scientists and health care providers new to AD research.
Although each center has its own unique area of emphasis, a common goal of the ADC’s is to enhance research on AD by providing a network for sharing new ideas as well as research results. Collaborative studies draw upon the expertise of scientists from many different disciplines. The National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (see listing under Washington State) coordinates data collection and fosters collaborative research among the ADC’s.

Many ADC’s have satellite facilities, which offer diagnostic and treatment services and collect research data in underserved, rural, and minority communities.

For patients and families affected by AD, many ADC’s offer:
* Diagnosis and medical management (costs may vary–centers may accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance).
* Information about the disease, services, and resources.
* Opportunities for volunteers to participate in drug trials, support groups, clinical research projects, and other special programs for volunteers and their families.

For more information, you may contact any of the centers on the following list. While the name, address, and telephone number given are for the center director, you may ask for information about any of the activities described above and about offices and satellite clinics at other locations throughout the country.
