Pilot Grant Award RecipientsThe Boston University Alzheimer’s Disease Center (BU ADC) is pleased to congratulate the 2008-2009 BU ADC Pilot Program Award recipients, including Dr. Brandon Gavett for his project entitled, “Ecological validity of neuropsychological assessment in dementia,” Dr. Ci-Di Chen for a project entitled, “The role of the anti-aging protein Klotho in Alzheimer's disease (AD) animal models,” and Dr. Anil Nair for his project entitled, “Risk evaluation and disclosure for mild cognitive impairment.” The BU ADC is now accepting Pilot Grant Program proposals for 2009-2010 in research related to AD. The Center anticipates that at least two proposals will be funded in the amount of $25,000 per award in direct costs for one year. This funding mechanism is intended to support new investigators, experienced investigators just beginning AD research efforts, or feasibility testing of innovative drug and management approaches. Proposals that leverage BU ADC resources, BU ADC data, or community-based partnerships are strongly encouraged. The selected grants will be funded from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 and are not renewable. Applications for the 2009-2010 cycle are due on February 15, 2009. Please see the BU ADC website for further information about the requirements of the Pilot Grant Program and the application process or contact Ms. Beverly Young at 857-364-4702 or bmyoung@bu.edu. |
