2025 Zenith Fellows Award Program (ZENITH)
The Zenith Fellows Award was initiated in 1991 as a vehicle for donors with a substantial personal commitment to propel research in Alzheimer’s and all other dementia research. The awards are made possible by the generosity of individuals and organizations (Zenith Society) who have each committed $1 million to the Alzheimer’s Association in support of the program. The objective of the 2025 Zenith Fellows Awards competition is to provide funding support for investigators who have:
● Contributed significantly to dementia science including Alzheimer’s and all other dementia research
● Contributed significantly to neuroscience breakthroughs that have informed our broader understanding of Alzheimer’s and other dementias
● Are likely to make substantial contributions in the future. The proposed research should address fundamental problems related to early detection, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, or prevention of Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. We seek proposals at the cutting edge of basic science or biomedicine that may challenge prevailing orthodoxy or not conform to traditional funding mechanisms, but which promise a sustained and positive impact on the future of dementia research.
