ISTAART is monitoring the potential impact of the government shutdown on researchers & the dementia care community where funds & staffing capacity are critical.
Thanks to @alzassociation advocacy, NIH requested $187M increase in FY27. Bipartisan momentum in Congress is strong!

“This is just the beginning,” @BillGates.bsky.social wrote in a new blog post. He’s right — Alzheimer’s and dementia research has more momentum than ever before, but now we need to go faster, earlier and bolder. That’s what @ALZAssocation’s Part the Cloud is all about.

The myths and fabrications persistently shared by the Health and Human Services Secretary aren’t just disappointing – they’re dangerous. See below for the facts and for our full statement in response to the Secretary’s comments.

Bipartisan Support for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Research During Senate HELP Committee
Read the Alzheimer's Association statement on the Senate HELP Committee hearing for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) director nominee.
Observations from today’s confirmation hearing for the director of the NIH: 1. bipartisan support for addressing dementia was on full display & 2. harmful myths about Alzheimer’s research continue to persist and that needs to stop. Our full statement: bit.ly/4bql5Nv
