UC Irvine expands national leadership in Alzheimer’s research with $21 million grant

With a $21 million renewal grant from the National Institute on Aging, the University of California, Irvine reinforces its status as a global leader in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias research. The five-year award will support the continued work of UCI MIND’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, which has been advancing understanding of memory impairments and engaging with the community for more than 40 years.

“This funding comes at a crucial moment for our research,” said Joshua Grill, Ph.D., director of UCI MIND and co-director of the ADRC. “It will build on our history of discovery and propel translational dementia research to new heights at UC Irvine.”
