Enhancing Research Collaboration Through a
Common Database for NIA Alzheimer’s Disease Centers


TEXT SIZE

The National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) was established by the National Institute on Aging (U01 AG016976) in 1999 to facilitate collaborative research among the 29 NIA-funded Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) nationwide. NACC developed and maintains a large relational database of standardized clinical and neuropathological research data collected from each ADC, and this database provides a valuable resource for both exploratory and explanatory Alzheimer's disease research.



NACC is funded by the National Institute on Aging (U01 AG016976) and located at the University of Washington's School of Public Health and Community Medicine
