Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), University of Washington

The UW Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC) is one of 33 research resource centers funded by the National Institute on Aging. ADRCs are major sources of discovery into the nature of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and into the development of more effective approaches to prevention, diagnosis, care, and therapy. The UW ADRC contributes to the development of shared resources that support dementia-relevant research, and coordinates research efforts with other NIH-funded programs and investigators. UW ADRC resources are designed to facilitate and empower related research efforts at UW.

The ADRC links the Seattle community with information and opportunities to participate in clinical trials and studies of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Our outreach team is influential in promoting strengths-based reframing of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia-friendly communities, and they organize and promote educational talks and events and research seminars. We support outreach and culturally adapted Alzheimer’s disease programs for Hispanic/Latino communities and Indigenous communities and clinics. The ADRC is closely affiliated with the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center clinic and Memory Hub community center. Join us!
