Pitt’s Alzheimer Disease Research Center (ADRC) is looking for developmental projects that will stimulate new and innovative research relevant to Alzheimer disease. Types of research can range from basic science to clinical/psychosocial, with particular attention given to novel approaches. Proposed research may involve humans, animals or in vitro studies. 

Applicants should be postdoctoral or junior faculty level investigators at Pitt, but also may be a more senior investigator whose research is primarily in areas other than Alzheimer research or who wants to work in the dementia field. Previous recipients of ADRC seed monies are not eligible.

Awards up to $75,000 in direct costs will be given for funding from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025. E-mail a brief description of the proposed pilot study to Leslie Dunn (dunnlo@upmc.edu) by Aug. 21, 2023. Request full application guidelines at 412-692-2731.

Investigators invited to submit a full proposal will be notified by Aug. 31, 2023.  Applications must be received no later than Sept. 29, 2023.
