Founded in 2005, the Accelerate Cure/Treatments for All Dementias (ACT-AD) Coalition is a group of more than 50 national nonprofit organizations, chaired by the Alliance for Aging Research, urgently working to speed up the development of potential cures and more effective treatments for all dementias.

Since its early days, the Alliance has supported the vital research at the National Institutes of Health.

In 2016, the U.S. Congress passed the 21st Century Cures Act, landmark legislation overhauling the development of medical treatments and cures for patients.

The U.S. Food & Drug Administration ensure the nation’s prescription drugs, medical drug, and food products are safe for consumers and patients.
