Supporting State Innovation in Alzheimer’s Research

Abstract The State Alzheimer’s Research Support Centers (StARS) is a research support center for state’s dementia care policies. The center is developing and implementing an approach to partnering with a wide range of programs to monitor activities, provide logistical, funding, and coordination support, and establish a robust outreach and dissemination strategy. This presentation will provide an overview of the StARS Centers and examples of state policies and programs that are being evaluated under this initiative.
