NBER Coordinating Center on the Economics of AD/ADRD Prevention, Treatment, and Care Annual Meeting

The NBER Coordinating Center on the Economics of Alzheimer’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Prevention, Treatment, and Care conducts and coordinates a range of research projects related to these dementias, which are projected to become increasingly prevalent as the US population ages, and pose profound challenges to our health and long-term care systems. Providing care to individuals with AD/ADRD is complicated by their potential limitations in their capacity to communicate and engage. A growing body of research offers new insights on both the prevention and treatment of AD/ADRD.

The Center is funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) as part of its Consortium for Economic Research on AD/ADRD. Its goals include launching new research projects through annual awards of research grants, coordinating collaboration and synergy among the research teams that receive support from the Consortium as well as others carrying out related research, and expanding the network of researchers studying the economics of AD/ADRD through early career grants, engaging committed partners from research and policy communities, and disseminating research findings. The Center strives to develop new research findings and to facilitate their translation to practice in order to improve the health and wellbeing of those living with AD/ADRD and their families. A number of the center’s outreach and translation initiatives are managed by Rose Li and Associates (RLA).
