The Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer’s Disease has grown bipartisan congressional support for policies that improve the lives of people impacted by Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. The task force was instrumental in building support for the bipartisan National Alzheimer’s Project Act (P.L. 111-375) in 2011, which led to the creation of a national plan to change the way the nation addresses Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. 

The Alzheimer’s Impact Movement (AIM) and the Alzheimer’s Association are also proud to work with task force members to raise awareness and help secure critical research funding increases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which has increased more than seven-fold in the last decade. 

Thanks to the work of AIM advocates, in the 118th Congress, there were 111 members from both parties and both chambers on the task force.
