The UW Alzheimer's Disease Research Center is one of the top-rated ADRCs in the country and, until recently, was fully funded by the federal government through NIH grants. But with recent federal budget cuts, the future of our ADRC for the next five years is uncertain. To sustain our momentum and life-changing progress, we need support beyond government funding. Donate now to support the future of the ADRC. To donate in memory of Dixie Wilson (1955-2025), a dedicated supporter of UW Medicine, please donate to the Steve and Dixie Wilson Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Endowment to continue her mission to help others.
Chances are that you may know someone living with dementia, or may know someone who is caring for someone living with the disease. Perhaps you’ve even heard in the news recently about celebrities bravely sharing their diagnoses. You may wonder: how can I be a support to someone living with dementia? How can I learn more?
Congratulations to the investigators who were awarded 2024-2025 Developmental Project Grants of the UW MBWC’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. These projects will use ADRC resources and participant data in studies on the cutting edge of research into Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
