About the Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative (API)
The Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative (API) was established in 2009 by Banner Alzheimer’s Institute to launch a new era in Alzheimer’s prevention research, accelerate the evaluation and approval of prevention therapies, and find ones that work as soon as possible.
The international collaborative includes:
- Groundbreaking prevention trials in adults at high risk for developing symptoms of Alzheimer’s dementia
- Large-scale participant-recruitment registries
- Data and biological sample-sharing programs
API is led by researchers from Banner Alzheimer’s Institute (BAI) in Phoenix, Arizona in partnership with leaders from academia, industry, and other public and private stakeholder organizations around the world. It is supported by competitive research grants from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), generous philanthropic contributions to Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation, and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies.*
