EXCITING UPDATE: Congress has announced a bipartisan agreement to provide a $100 million increase for Alzheimer’s and dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and $41.5 million for implementation of the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in fiscal year 2026.
When signed into law, it will bring total annual federal dementia research funding to $3.9 billion — accelerating progress against dementia for all communities nationwide. And funding for the BOLD program will strengthen our nation's public health response to dementia. These investments wouldn’t have been possible without our dedicated advocates.
Next up, the agreement will go through both the House and Senate for approval. Tell your representatives to stand with the Alzheimer’s and dementia community today: https://loom.ly/cnGKMBc
