The Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) has issued a request for grant proposals for implementing and evaluating a solution that increases rates of cognitive assessment for older adults – and ultimately improves detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in healthcare systems worldwide.
The DAC was initiated by The World Economic Forum (WEF) and The Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer’s Disease and launched in January 2021. It aims to orchestrate a global effort to combat Alzheimer’s disease, by linking, scaling, and building on existing efforts across every sector mission through three key initiatives: Global Cohort Development, Global Clinical Trial Platform and Healthcare System Preparedness. This new funding opportunity is part of the Healthcare System Preparedness initiative.
The DAC’s intention is to award up to USD 2 million to approximately 3-5 innovators in early 2022. The deadline for the initial submission, a brief concept paper, is 1 December 2021. Candidates selected to move forward will be asked to provide a full proposal following the review of the concept paper. These candidates will be notified mid-January 2022. Further information, including a detailed RFP document, is available at https://www.davosalzheimerscollaborative.org/.
