France Alzheimer is the first French association in terms of support to research on Alzheimer’s disease. Every year, we dedicate more than 1 million euros to launch a dozen new research projects. Each project is selected through a call of proposals for academics teams.
We currently support more than 50 research projects all over France. Since 1988, France Alzheimer has distributed more than 400 research grants, representing over 17 million euros.
In 2017, France Alzheimer has created an endowment fund called Fonds de dotation France Alzheimer pour la recherche biomédicale (Endowment fund France Alzheimer for biomedical research) to support biomedical research on Alzheimer's disease and on related disorders and to speed up the development of innovative therapeutic approaches in France.

Our values
The core values of the endowment fund France Alzheimer for biomedical research are sharing and expertise. It intends to follow the same dynamics than scientists, moved by the pursuit of public interest and the need of fruitful exchanges leading to cross-fertilisation.
An ethical commitment
The endowment fund puts human values at the centre of its mission: tolerance, kindness to others, solidarity, sharing. That is the reason why we decided that all the results that will follow this project will be freely accessible for the entire scientific community. This choice was dictated by our sense of the public interest and the belief that open access is the best way to achieve rapid progress.
