Sen. Markey’s discussion on Alzheimer’s Disease Research Funding | July 19, 2020
Senator Ed Markey hosted Alzheimer’s activists and researchers for a livestream roundtable discussion about the progress medical researchers are making in treating the disease, the importance of federal research funding in the fight for a cure, and the work that Senator Markey has done throughout his career to advance Alzheimer’s research and support for caregivers. After losing his own mother to Alzheimer’s disease in 1998, Senator Markey established the Bipartisan Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer’s, and since passed the National Alzheimer’s Project Act which sets and funds a goal to find a cure by 2025. As a result of his bill, Congress appropriated $2.8 billion of Alzheimer’s and related dementia research at the National Institutes of Health in the 2020 fiscal year budget, a 370 percent increase since 2014.
