Peer reviewers are a vital component of the ADDF’s rigorous review process. These experts support our commitment to making fair, equitable, and objective funding decisions that align with our strategic priorities and mission, while also providing constructive feedback to applicants.
At the ADDF, we recruit leading researchers and subject matter experts in the Alzheimer’s field from around the world to impartially evaluate full proposals. Their valuable critiques and insights help us identify the highest quality scientific projects for funding. Our reviewers come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a depth of knowledge, extensive experience, and unique skill sets that enhance our due diligence.
We are incredibly grateful for their generosity in sharing their time and talents! If you are interested in being considered as a peer reviewer, please email grants@alzdiscovery.org.
