Our Nation’s Commitment to Alzheimer’s Research and Public Health Response
Congress must continue to invest in Alzheimer’s and dementia research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and fund the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Act (P.L. 115-406) to strengthen the public health infrastructure across the country by implementing effective Alzheimer’s intervention focused on public health issues such as increasing early detection and diagnosis, reducing risk, and preventing avoidable hospitalizations.
Support Our Nation's Dementia Caregivers
The bipartisan Credit for Caring Act will provide much-needed financial relief to those caring for a loved one by creating a new, non-refundable federal tax credit of up to $5,000 for eligible family caregivers.
Prepare the Dementia Workforce
The bipartisan AADAPT Act will accelerate dementia workforce preparedness in communities throughout the nation.
