Grant opportunities
The Layton Center offers several pilot grant programs for new investigators or more experienced investigators who have novel ideas that may advance Alzheimer's research.
Research awards
We have three research awards available: the Oregon Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (OADRC) Development Projects, the Research Scholar Awards and the Oregon Partnership for Alzheimer's Research (OPAR) grants.
