The program encourages junior investigators in the United States and Israel to apply for up to five one- to two-year awards of $100,000 each.

The program, funded by the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation and the Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation, supports research in areas in which more scientific investigation is needed to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease. The program encourages junior investigators in the United States and Israel to apply for up to five one- to two-year awards of $100,000 each.

For one of the awards, priority may be given to an investigator with a research interest related to healthy brain aging. Areas of research could include learning and memory, nutrition, exercise, and cardiovascular risk factors, for example, as they relate to the brain and the aging process.

Deadline for receipt of application for U.S. based investigators is December 15, 2011. For investigators based in Israel the deadline is December 30, 2011.
