Opportunity Listing - Research on Current Topics in Alzheimer's Disease and Its Related Dementias (R21 Clinical Trial Optional)

There has been a lapse in appropriated federal funds as of October 1, 2025. Grants.gov and Simpler.Grants.gov will still be available, but service may be delayed with reduced Federal support staff presence.

For those programs affected by the funding lapse, the Grants.gov and Simpler.Grants.gov systems will accept and store applications until such time as the responsible awarding agency has the authority and funding to return to normal business operations.

This site is a work in progress, with new features and updates based on your feedback.
