Request for Input: Comprehensive Updates to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease

Purpose and Background

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is currently seeking public feedback to inform comprehensive updates to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease. The National Plan has been updated regularly since its initial release in 2012, and HHS is now updating the National Plan to lead federal efforts through 2035. To inform the development of these efforts, HHS seeks input on opportunities, gaps, and priorities in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRD) research, care, and services. Comments are welcomed from individuals living with AD/ADRD, caregivers, researchers, clinicians, service providers, advocates, faith- and community- based organizations, state, Tribal, and local officials, policymakers, and any other interested stakeholders. Responses are due by August 15, 2026, via the electronic submission form.
