Alzheimer's Disease Centers
The ADCs Program promotes
research, training and education, technology transfer,
and multicenter and cooperative studies in AD and other
dementias and normal brain aging. Each of these
centers enrolls and performs longitudinal studies on AD
patients and healthy older people. Autopsy is an
important part of this research effort. Many
NIH-supported research projects depend on the ADC
Program to provide access to patients and biological
fluid and tissue samples. In addition to
individual research grants, several other major
initiative depend on the ADCs, including the Alzheimer's
Disease Cooperative Study, CHORD (Caregiving, Health
Services, and Outcomes Research in Dementia) and the
National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center. Many of
the Centers have satellite clinics that target minority,
rural, or other underserved populations in order to
expand the numbers of persons from diverse population
groups who participate in research protocols and
clinical drug trials associated with the parent Center.
