A special budget for Alzheimer ’s and related dementias

Just last week, I had the honor of presenting, on behalf of NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins, the first-ever NIH Professional Judgment Budget for Alzheimer & rsquo;s disease and related dementias. Outlined at the July 27 meeting of the HHS Secretary & rsquo;s Advisory Council on Alzheimer & rsquo;s Research, Care, and Services, the proposal & mdash;commonly referred to as a Bypass Budget & mdash;lays out NIH & rsquo;s plan to speed discovery into these devastating disorders, aimed at meeting the research goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer & rsquo;s Disease & mdash;to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer & rsquo;s disease by 2025.
