The ASRP is changing dementia research in Canada
Since the Program's start in 1989, we have invested over $67 million in grants and awards toward innovative research that brings us closer to a future without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
The ASRP has two goals
- Encourage researchers to explore radical new ways to advance our knowledge of dementia, and
- Improve the quality of life for people living with dementia, their families and caregivers.
