JDFAF is unique from other groups in that our sole purpose is to fund research for Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2020, JDFAF will activate our Strategic Initiative using the foundation’s funds, which will be matched by each of the universities, to create endowed Professorships for 10 California university researchers, enabling them to initiate immediate and innovative research. The plan also includes an annual consortium whereby the researchers will collaborate and share their findings, ensuring a collective understanding that will influence their unique research.
