  • Normal aging research relevant or applicable to AD diagnostics, treatment, etc.
  • Disease risk factors
  • Molecular neurobiology of the disease
  • Neuroimaging in preclinical stages of AD or MCI

  • Treatments (either behavioral or pharmacological interventions)
  • Caregiver stress
  • Health services research
  • End-of-life care
  • Behavioral and social aspects of the disease
  
  
  Applications from any UW/VA faculty track, including a scientist position, will be accepted. Fellow or trainee-led project are ineligible. Applicants are strongly encouraged to utilize the extensive infrastructure of the ADRC; specifically Clinical Core and/or Nueropathology Core resources.
