Alzheimer’s Disease Centers External Advisory Meeting

NIA initiated a planning process that sought input from scientists both internal and external to the existing Centers in preparation for issuing Request for Applications for the Alzheimer's Disease Centers. Individuals working in the Centers and from position statements prepared by some of the Centers reflected diverse opinions. Many issues relating to how Centers presently function and suggestions for changes to improve operations were discussed in a meeting held in May of 2001. All current Center Directors and NIA staff members were in attendance.
