The Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center for Minority Aging Research (JHAD-RCMAR) is announcing the availability of three pilot project awards for the 2022-2023 cycle. Applications are due on February 1, 2022.

JHAD-RCMAR funds are available to encourage innovative research focused on basic, clinical, psychosocial, or health services aspects of minority aging, Alzheimer’s disease or related disorders (ADRD) and health disparities. The overarching goal of the JHAD-RCMAR is to prepare the next generation of underrepresented minority researchers. However, the application is open to all individuals interested in the conduct of Alzheimer-related research that is culturally relevant and has potential to bridge research from discovery to implementation in ADRD minority aging. Those awarded pilot research funds through this mechanism will become JHADRCMAR Scientists and will receive additional career development support through the JHADRCMAR.
