NIH FY 2025 Professional Judgement Budget

At today’s meeting of the Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services, NIA Director Dr. Richard Hodes presented the NIH FY 2025 Professional Judgment Budget, “A New Era: Driving Momentum in Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Research.” The Professional Judgment Budget narrative outlines examples of prospective research opportunities that could be supported with additional funds in FY 2025. Examples of future research opportunities are organized across six broad scientific categories: Epidemiology/Population Studies Disease Mechanisms Diagnosis, Assessment, & Disease Monitoring Translational Research & Clinical Interventions Dementia Care & Impact of Disease Research Resources The FY 2025 Professional Judgment Budget also emphasizes significant cross-cutting research efforts centered on international studies.

For FY 2025, additional NIH resources needed for new Alzheimer’s and related dementias research are $318 million, which would bring the total FY 2025 NIH resource needs for AD/ADRD research to $4.07 billion.

NIH also released today a companion document, the 2023 NIH Scientific Progress Report, “Advancements Build Momentum: 10 Years of Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Research,” which summarizes significant NIH-funded dementia research advances from the last ten years.

NIA’s Office of Legislation, Policy, and International Activities (OLPIA) and Office of Communications and Public Liaison (OCPL) will hold a webinar for stakeholders on Tuesday, August 8, from 1:00—2:00 pm ET to review the FY 2025 Professional Judgment Budget and the 2023 Progress Report, as well as answer any questions you may have.

NIH Hosting Presentation on Professional Judgment Budget for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Research for Fiscal Year 2025

NIA OLPIA will hold the third in a new series of virtual “OLPIA Office Hours” on Tuesday, August 8, from 1:00—2:00 pm ET. Each OLPIA Office Hour will open with a presentation, followed by an office hour-style segment guided by your questions and interests regarding the talk or other topics you may wish to discuss with OLPIA staff.

The August 8^th Office Hour will feature a presentation on the NIH Professional Judgment Budget for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Research for Fiscal Year 2025, also known as the Alzheimer’s Disease “Bypass Budget,” as well as the Alzheimer’s Disease Progress Report. Speakers from OLPIA and NIA’s Office of Communications and Public Liaison (OCPL) will lead the discussion. To register for this session, please visit the online registration site.

FY 2024 Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Bypass Budget Released

At today’s meeting of the Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Research, Care, and Services, NIA Director Dr. Richard Hodes presented the NIH FY 2024 Professional Judgment Budget, “Looking Forward: Opportunities to Accelerate Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias Research.” For FY 2024, the content and structure of the Professional Judgment Budget, or “Alzheimer’s Disease Bypass Budget” (ADBB), have been updated. Previous ADBB narratives focused on scientific accomplishments in AD/ADRD research. The FY 2024 ADBB narrative outlines examples of prospective research opportunities that could be supported with additional funds in FY 2024. Examples of future research opportunities are organized across six broad scientific categories:

Epidemiology/Population Studies
Disease Mechanisms
Diagnosis, Assessment, & Disease Monitoring
Translational Research & Clinical Interventions
Dementia Care & Impact of Disease
Research Resources

The FY 2024 ADBB also emphasizes significant cross-cutting research efforts centered on health equity and inclusion. For FY 2024, additional NIH resources needed for new Alzheimer’s and related dementias research are $321 million, which would bring the total FY 2024 NIH resource needs for AD/ADRD research to $3.87 billion.

NIA’s Office of Legislation, Policy, and International Activities will hold a webinar for stakeholders on Thursday, August 11^th, from 11:00 am—12:00 pm ET to review the FY 2024 ADBB and answer any questions you may have. To register, please visit the webinar registration page.

FY2023 NIH Professional Judgement Budget for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias

In a recent InsideNIA blog post, NIA Director Dr. Richard Hodes highlighted the newly released FY 2023 NIH Professional Judgment Budget for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias, also known as the “bypass budget.” The report, titled Transforming Research to Prevent, Detect, Treat, and Provide Better Care for Dementia, features summaries of key studies in Alzheimer’s and related dementias (AD/ADRD) research and the tremendous progress of NIA scientists and grantees in this area. In addition, the FY 2023 bypass budget identifies $226 million in additional resources needed for new AD/ADRD research to help reach the goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease – to effectively treat and prevent these diseases by 2025.

2021 NIH Alzheimer’s Research Summit: Path to Precision Medicine for Treatment and Prevention

NIH Alzheimer’s Research Summits are key strategic planning meetings tied to the implementation of the first goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease: to effectively treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease by 2025. They bring together a multi-stakeholder community including government, industry, academia, private foundation, and patient advocacy groups, to further integrated, translational Alzheimer’s research. The goal is to accelerate the development of effective, disease-modifying, and palliative therapies for the cognitive as well as neuropsychiatric symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.

The 2021 Summit will be held virtually April 19 – April 22 from 10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

NIH Videocast, April 19-22, 2021, 10 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET. Registration is free and open to the public.
