Description

The NIA Behavioral and Social Research LEaders in Alzheimer’s Disease and Its Related Dementias (NIA BSR LEADR) program supports individual scientists of exceptional creativity who propose to use behavioral and social science perspectives and approaches for highly innovative, impactful, and potentially transformative theoretical, empirical, and clinical research addressing the challenges raised by Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD) for individuals, their families, and society. Applications are welcome from individuals with diverse backgrounds. NIA encourages applications on a variety of AD/ADRD topics in which behavioral and social research can contribute, such as dementia care, dementia caregiver research, cognitive and dementia epidemiology, behavioral and social pathways of AD/ADRD, early psychological changes preceding AD/ADRD, prevention of AD/ADRD, and disparities in AD/ADRD or dementia-related outcomes.

 

Responsive applications must reflect a new insight into a potential solution to an important problem related to AD/ADRD that can be addressed with exceptionally innovative or unconventional behavioral and/or social science methods. This initiative is to support investigators who intend to pursue new research directions distinct from those they currently or previously conducted. While the proposed research may have the investigator’s prior work and expertise as its foundation, it cannot be a minor extension or scale-up of a current or past research enterprise.
