Desc	SINCE OUR FOUNDING USAGAINSTALZHEIMER'S NETWORK HAS WORKED ACROSS SECTORS TO ACCOMPLISH MANY MILESTONE SUCCESSES, INCLUDING:- SECURING THE NATIONAL GOAL OF PREVENTING AND EFFECTIVELY TREATING ALZHEIMER'S BY 2025 THROUGH THE NATIONAL ALZHEIMER'S PLAN.- DRAMATICALLY INCREASING GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT IN ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH IN THE U.S. (AND PROMPTING THE U.K., CANADA AND JAPAN TO FOLLOW WITH THEIR OWN INVESTMENTS). USAGAINSTALZHEIMER'S PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN THE RECENT $360M INCREASE IN ALZHEIMER'S FUNDING APPROVED BY CONGRESS FOR FY 2016. THE INCREASE BROUGHT THE TOTAL NIH INVESTMENT TO APPROXIMATELY $936 MILLION PER YEAR, A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN THE PATH TOWARD OUR GOAL OF RESEARCH FUNDING EQUAL TO ONE PERCENT OF CARE COSTS, WHICH HAVE RISEN TO $226 BILLION A YEAR. THROUGH A SMART, EFFICIENT ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES, OUR RELATIVELY SMALL DIRECT INVESTMENT OF $17 MILLION (SINCE 2010) HAS HELPED GENERATE MORE THAN A CUMULATIVE $1 BILLION INCREASE IN U.S. FEDERAL ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH FUNDING SINCE 2011 (THROUGH NIH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE). WE ESTIMATE THE INCREASED ALZHEIMER'S FUNDING FROM FY 2011-2016 IS SUPPORTING MORE THAN 1,000 RESEARCH GRANTS.- DRIVING GLOBAL EFFORTS THAT RESULTED IN THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL NATIONS, THE G7, EMBRACING A SIMILAR 2025 GOAL AND CALLING FOR GREATER LEVELS OF INVESTMENT AND COLLABORATION. OUR CHAIRMAN, GEORGE VRADENBURG, SERVES AS A MEMBER OF THE US ADVISORY COUNCIL ON ALZHEIMER'S AND TO THE WORLD DEMENTIA COUNCIL. - RAISING PUBLIC AWARENESS THROUGH MAJOR NEWS MEDIA, INCLUDING NBC'S "TODAY" SHOW, THE NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY, BLOOMBERG BUSINESS WEEK, FORBES, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, WASHINGTON POST, NEWSDAY, REUTERS, AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, WOMEN'S HEALTH, ROLL CALL, HUFFINGTON POST, WASHINGTON LIFE AND POLITICO.- FORGING COLLABORATIONS TO IMPROVE EFFICIENCIES FOR EXPEDITED DRUG DISCOVERY AND SPEEDING UP THE APPROVAL PROCESSES. THROUGH THE DESIGN OF A PATIENT-POWERED RESEARCH NETWORK, WHAT WE HAVE NAMED "GALAXY," WE ARE CREATING A VIRTUAL, RESEARCH-READY HUB OF CITIZEN SCIENTISTS, FAMILIES, PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS WHOSE COLLECTIVE VOICE WILL, WE HOPE, ACCELERATE ALZHEIMER'S THERAPIES AND PREVENTIONS. WHILE WE ARE LEADING THIS WORK, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH MAYO CLINIC, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, AND THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA TO EXTEND OUR EXPERTISE AND OUR CAPACITY. WE HAVE ALSO RECRUITED 37 PARTNERS TO JOIN IN A NATIONAL NETWORK TO CONNECT PATIENTS, CAREGIVERS, AND RESEARCHERS - ALL AIMED AT DEVELOPING, CONDUCTING, AND DISSEMINATING PATIENT-CENTERED DEMENTIA RESEARCH USING STATE-OF-THE-ART APPROACHES, INCLUDING MOBILE AND ONLINE TOOLS.- LAUNCHING THE GLOBAL ALZHEIMER'S PLATFORM (GAP), TO BUILD THE FIRST-EVER GLOBAL TRIAL-READY PLATFORM FOR ALZHEIMER'S DRUG DEVELOPMENT. THIS INITIATIVE WILL REDUCE THE TIME, COST AND RISK OF GETTING INNOVATIVE MEDICINES TO PERSONS WITH OR AT RISK FOR DEMENTIA. GAP HAS, TO DATE, OBTAINED FIRM COMMITMENTS OF $22.8 MILLION FROM NINE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND TWO FOUNDATIONS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS PROJECT AND TO JOIN A CONSORTIUM TO HELP IN ADVANCING THIS WORK. ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE CONDUCTING ONGOING FUNDRAISING CONVERSATIONS WITH SEVERAL OTHER POTENTIAL FUNDERS, INCLUDING MAJOR HEALTH INSURERS, FOUNDATIONS, AND INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. WE ARE ALSO SEEKING $25 MILLION IN FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AS WELL AS THEIR AGREEMENT TO JOIN WHAT WOULD BE A PUBLIC-PRIVATE CONSORTIUM TO EXECUTE THIS PROJECT. IN TOTAL, WE ARE SEEKING $70 MILLION IN FUNDING OVER THE FIVE-YEAR PERIOD IT WILL TAKE TO BUILD THIS PLATFORM.- USING BIG DATA TO SPEED PROGRESS TOWARD A CURE. USAGAINSTALZHEIMER'S INDUSTRY COALITION - CALLED THE GLOBAL CEO INITIATIVE ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE (CEOI) - LAUNCHED THE "BIG DATA RESEARCH INITIATIVE TO FIGHT ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE," TARGETED AT DRAWING TOGETHER STAKEHOLDERS FROM INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ACCELERATE THE PACE OF ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH FOR TREATMENTS AND CARE. IN THIS EFFORT, WE ARE PARTNERING WITH THE LARGE HEALTH INSURER OPTUM, ITS RESEARCH ARM OPTUMLABS, AND WITH J&J, BIOGEN, ASTRAZENECA, AND MAYO CLINIC, AMONG OTHERS.- CO-CONVENING LEADERS ENGAGED ON ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE (LEAD), A NATIONWIDE, GRASSROOTS COALITION OF MORE THAN 70 ORGANIZATIONS/CORPORATIONS AND 170,000 INDIVIDUALS. OUR CO-CONVENING PARTNER IN THIS EFFORT IS VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA.- PROVIDING CURRENT, CONTENT-RICH, ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION TO A WIDE ARRAY OF AUDIENCES IN A NUMBER OF FORMATS. WE HAVE VASTLY INCREASED ACCESS TO INFORMATION ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE TO DIVERSE AUDIENCES SUCH AS PATIENTS, FAMILIES, INDUSTRY LEADERS, FAITH COMMUNITIES, RESEARCHERS, PROVIDERS, PAYERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND MORE. THIS IS DONE THROUGH A NUMBER OF FORMATS AND MEDIUM, INCLUDING OUR ALZDAILY, EMAIL UPDATES, ALZTALKS WEBINARS, RESEARCH AND PIPELINE REPORTS, EDITORIALS, AND MORE.- MOBILIZING NETWORKS IN DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED COMMUNITIES.
