2024 Knowledge Translation and Exchange (KTE) Accelerator Grants Request for Applications [1]

2024 Knowledge Translation and Exchange (KTE) Accelerator Grants Application Requirements [2]

Description

The purpose of the  Knowledge Translation and Exchange (KTE) Accelerator Grants program is to help accelerate the dissemination of scientific findings on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias to various audiences beyond academic researchers. 

KTE Accelerator Grants are designed to stimulate innovative and outside-the-box ideas that ensure research translates into implementation and eventually, impact. These grants provide researchers and trainees with the funding needed to develop KTE products relevant to their work in the field of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.  

The products that result from the KTE Accelerator Grants will share key learnings from applicants’ research that are meaningful to different audiences in an easy-to-use and accessible way while making use of different and unique formats. Examples of KTE products include, but are not limited to: websites, training and workshops, policy briefs, pitch decks, community implementation/engagement opportunities, blogs, social media, videos, podcasts, tool kits, theatre and live performances, film and animation, digital storytelling, infographics, games, exhibits and visual arts, and music and dance.

These grants are available to all:

• Current and past Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) grant and award recipients.
