In 1984, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) named the USC Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center one of its first five Alzheimer’s Disease Research Centers. NIA grant P30AG066530 continues to support the center’s research, including genetic studies, clinical trials, and advanced brain imaging, as well as its operations.

The USC ADRC works with partner institutes across USC, including the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, which supports the center’s imaging, informatics, and data sharing.
