This can be true, but researchers also pursue discovery in clinics, research hospitals, community settings such as neighborhoods or senior centers, and small businesses across the country.</p> <p>Alzheimer’s and related dementias are complex diseases that require collaborative, diverse research approaches and expertise. Federal government support has enabled significant scientific growth and discovery to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and care of those living with these conditions. Scientists are identifying and testing new drug candidates, advancing comprehensive models of care, developing new biomarker tests, exploring disease risk and protective factors, and improving the understanding of the role of genetics and other disease mechanisms.</p> </div> <div class="block_callout clearfix paragraph paragraph--type--alz-callout paragraph--view-mode--default sidenav-anchor" id="research-on-alzheimer’s-disease-and-related-dementias-"> <div class="call-out-small"> <div class="row "> <div class="col-12 col-tablet-5 col-desktop-4"> <div class="call-out-media"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/2024-04/research-dementias-callout.jpg" alt="scientists in a research lab" typeof="foaf:Image"/> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-tablet-7 col-desktop-8"> <div class="call-out-heading"> <a name="1679"></a> <h2> Research on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias </h2> </div> <div class="call-out-description"> <p>The federal government and others are exploring diverse research areas to improve quality of life for people with dementia and to prevent and treat these diseases.</p> </div> <div class="call-out-cta"> <a class="text-button block-card--bold" href="/taking-action/research-activities">Learn more about research activities. </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--alz-body-section paragraph--view-mode--default sidenav-anchor" id="how-the-government-is-supporting-a-diverse-alzheimer’s-and-related-dementias-research-workforce"> <h2> How the Government Is Supporting a Diverse Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Research Workforce </h2> <p>As the number of cases of Alzheimer’s and related dementias rises, it is critical that a diverse scientific workforce has access to support and training in pursuit of the research skills and tools required to find a prevention or effective treatment for these diseases.</p> <p>In addition to conducting and supporting scientific research, the federal government offers programs to encourage individuals from many different research backgrounds to enter the field of aging and Alzheimer’s and related dementias research. These programs include funding along the career spectrum, from high school internship programs, to undergraduate and graduate mentorship and training, to supporting career transitions.</p> <p>The federal government plays an important role in cultivating diversity in the scientific workforce, which is essential for solving complex health challenges like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and offers many programs to support scientific workforce diversity, including training, mentorship, and career development opportunities specifically targeted to populations underrepresented in biomedical research.</p> <p>Federal government funding opportunities, career development, and training programs are available to support Alzheimer’s and related dementias
