The NIA R25-funded Dementia Palliative Care Clinical Trials Program (DEM-PCCT) is accepting applications for its fourth cohort.

The program is designed for researchers interested in developing competence in the planning, design, and execution of randomized clinical trials among persons with Alzheimer’s Disease or Related Dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.

The overall goal of this program is to support participants in submitting a competitive grant application by the end of the program.

DEM-PCCT 10-month-long Program includes a combination of virtual small group sessions and a 5-day in-person Institute where participants work together to design a trial and develop their own grant application addressing palliative care issues in ADRD populations. This year, the required in-person Institute dates are September 14^th–19^th, 2025 and will be held in Chapel Hill, NC.

More information can be found on our attached flyer and website.

The Executive Committee will also be hosting informational webinars where potential applicants can ask questions they may have about the program. These webinars will occur on Friday, December 6th from 1-2pm EST and Wednesday, January 15th from 5-6pm EST. Please register here.

Applications are due February 14th, 2025 at 8pm ET and is available here.
