In  collaboration with LINC-AD (Leveraging an Interdisciplinary Consortium to Improve Care and Outcomes for Persons Living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia), the Alzheimer’s Association is currently accepting applications for the new Advancing Research on Care and Outcome Measurements (ARCOM) funding program.  The goal of the program is to address gaps in care and outcome measurement and advance research efforts to ensure that care providers are implementing evidence-based practices (using measures to guide care provision) and achieving desired outcomes (using measures to assess outcomes).  Work funded through ARCOM must directly advance research projects focused on development of new and/or validation of previously developed measures of care and outcomes where measurement gaps exist.

The Alzheimer’s Association anticipates funding up to 8 ACROM proposals for up to  $250,000 total funding (direct and indirect costs) over a period of up to two years (minimum of 1 year).
