Development Project Awards - Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Development Project Awards The UW ADRC is an NIH-funded Center of Excellence in Alzheimer’s Disease and related degenerative dementias (AD/ADRD) that belongs to a national network of ADRCs. We maintain AD/ADRD research resources for the benefit of local and national scientific investigators.
The UW ADRC seeks proposals for Development Projects that advance our understanding, diagnosis, and/or treatment of AD/ADRD. Given the successful ADRC Center renewal for 2025-2030, the UW ADRC proposes to fund 2-3 projects with a budget of up to $75,000 (direct costs) in 2026, which includes funds for data management and statistical support.
Awarded projects are for a one-year project period (5/1/2026 through 4/30/2027), with the option to compete for one additional year upon approval. 2026-2027 UW ADRC Development Project RFA The Development Projects program replaces and extends the former Pilot Award program, and is closely linked to our new Research Education Component .
