With nearly 800,000 people living with #dementia in Canada—and most cases linked to #Alzheimers—new, early-stage treatments are urgently needed. If successful, this innovative work could improve care and reduce costs - bit.ly/4wbLwje #ResearchInAction @usask @_SHRF_

Congratulations to RaDAR Trainee, Heather Alford, who is a recipient the @AlzCanada - @_SHRF_ doctoral scholarship! @USaskCCRAH @USaskResearch cchsa-ccssma.usask.ca/rurald…
We’re proud to announce the 2026 recipients of the Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP). These researchers represent the next generation of dementia research in Canada, advancing ideas that could improve diagnosis, care, treatment, prevention, and quality of life for people living with dementia and care partners. Since 1989, the ASRP has helped support groundbreaking dementia research by investing in emerging and established researchers alike. The funding provided this year supports a wide variety of work happening across the country, from brain imaging and AI-supported tools to culturally informed care approaches and strategies for earlier detection. This work is made possible through partnerships with Brain Canada Foundation and Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, alongside other funding partners committed to advancing dementia research in Canada. Congratulations to this year’s recipients. Your work is helping deepen our understanding of dementia and improve support for people affected by the disease. Meet the researchers and learn more about their work: bit.ly/2XWzE9T #DementiaResearch #AlzheimersResearch #BrainHealth #Alzheimers -- C’est avec fierté que nous vous annonçons les lauréat·es 2026 du Programme de recherche de la Société Alzheimer (PRSA)! Ces personnes représentent la relève de la recherche canadienne sur les troubles neurocognitifs. Elles avancent des idées qui ont le potentiel d’améliorer le diagnostic, les soins, les traitements et la prévention des troubles neurocognitifs (TNC), et la qualité de vie des personnes vivant avec un TNC et de leurs partenaires de soins. Depuis 1989, le PRSA appuie des projets de recherche révolutionnaires sur les TNC en finançant des chercheur·euses en début de carrière ou déjà établi·es. Les fonds octroyés cette année soutiennent un large éventail de travaux menés dans tout le pays, de l’imagerie cérébrale et des outils assistés par ordinateur jusqu’aux approches de soins fondées sur la culture, en passant par des stratégies de détection précoce. Le PRSA vit grâce à des partenariats avec la Fondation Brain Canada et la Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation, ainsi qu’avec d’autres partenaires financiers engagés dans l’avancement de la recherche canadienne sur les troubles neurocognitifs. Félicitations aux lauréat·es! Votre travail permet d’approfondir notre compréhension des troubles neurocognitifs et d’améliorer l’aide apportée aux personnes touchées.
