IMPACT Collaboratory Requests Applications for the 2026 Demonstration Projects Program
IMPACT Collaboratory Requests Applications for the 2026 Demonstration Projects Program
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory has launched a Request for Applications for the 2026 Demonstration Projects Grants Program.
The IMPACT Collaboratory will fund up to two Demonstration Projects, each providing up to $800,000 in total direct costs over 24 months. The awards will support full-scale, Stage IV effectiveness embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trials (ePCTs) (based on the NIH Stage Model). Projects must evaluate the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions embedded within health care systems for people living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners.
The goal of the Demonstration Project is to generate evidence on effective care delivery practices that can be expanded and implemented in other systems.
For more information, download the full Request for Applications, join the informational webinar on September 16th (see details below), and visit our Demonstration Projects Program webpage. Learn more about our previous Demonstration Project Grant Awardees here.
