Do you have a great idea that just needs a financial boost to make it happen? Do you want to expand your program’s research capabilities? Do you need to hire students or buy equipment that will help you gather the data you need to advance the development of a new product or approach in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease?
That’s where the UW Initiative to End Alzheimer’s (IEA) Innovation Fund can help.
The IEA Innovation Fund was created to provide direct seed funding to Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute (WAI) and Department of Geriatrics PIs, staff and program teams to help advance the most promising new ideas in AD research and programming, enhance resources available to researchers, program leads and staff and respond to innovative and emerging needs of this area of medicine.
With an initial goal to raise $100,000 in charitable support in its first phase, the IEA Innovation Fund aims to be a key driver of novel ideas and entrepreneurial energy for both the ADRC and WAI.
