This National Institutes of Health grant is designed to provide proof-of-principle for novel immunotherapeutic strategies aimed at Alzheimer Disease and Alzheimer Related Dementias (AD/ADRD). This grant is for the purpose of exploring whether Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) immune cell approaches, which have shown significant promise in cancer immunotherapy, can be effectively customized and applied as innovative treatments for AD/ADRD. The funding utilizes the R61/R33 Exploratory/Developmental Phased Award activity code, structured to support research through distinct stages. The R61 phase offers up to two years of support for initial developmental activities and critical proof-of-concept studies. Subsequently, the R33 phase provides up to three years of support for expanded research and more comprehensive development efforts, building upon the successes of the R61. The ultimate goal is to pioneer groundbreaking immunotherapies to combat these debilitating neurodegenerative diseases.
