About AD+ADRD Research Implementation Milestones

The AD+ADRD Research Implementation Milestones represent a research framework detailing specific steps and success criteria towards achieving the goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease: to treat and prevent AD and ADRDs by 2025.

Spanning basic, translational, clinical, and health services research, the milestones were developed based on recommendations from over 350 leading academic and industry experts, innovators and public advocates participating at strategic research planning summits.

Users can browse the milestones by Focus Areas and further refine by more targeted Research Implementation Areas. For each milestone, users will find success criteria and the projected timeline, along with updated information on progress and achievements, including funding initiatives, research programs and resources, and highlights.

The database is updated annually to inform the development of the annual NIH Alzheimer's Disease Bypass Budget.
