National Institute on Aging (NIA)

The Federal Standard for Alzheimer’s Research. As the primary federal agency for Alzheimer’s research, the NIA maintains the definitive national databases for clinical discovery. Portals like Alzheimers.gov and ClinicalTrials.gov provide transparent access to active pharmaceutical and lifestyle intervention studies. These platforms are essential for those seeking to participate in the cutting edge of medicine across the United States.

National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC)

The Global Engine of “Big Data” scientific breakthroughs require scale. By contributing secure, de-identified longitudinal data to the NACC, researchers worldwide can identify the genetic and lifestyle triggers of memory loss. This partnership turns individual participant data into a global map of discovery, validating findings that lead directly to new treatment protocols.
