Alzheimer disease and associated disorders: project funding opportunities within the European community.

The European Union has funded numerous projects on Alzheimer disease and associated disorders (ADAD). In the funding years of 1995 and 1996, six million Euro were spent on ADAD projects. In 1996, 21% of applications were funded. Having had the opportunity to review all these projects, we offer insight into the funding procedure and some of our conclusions from reviewing all these projects.
