Banner Alzheimers Institute awarded $7.1 million
Banner Alzheimer’s Institute in Phoenix has been awarded three grants totaling $7.1 million to advance Alzheimer’s disease care and research initiatives, including $2.6 million from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the purchase of a new cyclotron and two grants secured by Banner Alzheimer’s Foundation.
The foundation grants include $3.5 million from the Nomis Foundation in support of the newly launched Alzheimer’s Prevention Initiative and $1 million from the Ethel and Kemper Marley Foundation to benefit counseling, education and other non-medical support resources for Banner patients and caregivers.
The $2.6 million NIH grant will provide funding for a new cyclotron at the imaging research facility.
Earlier this year, Banner received a $6.5 million grant from the NIH to renovate and expand its imaging research facility, thus providing space for two research PET imaging suites, a new MRI suite and a computational image analysis laboratory. Space for the cyclotron and PET radiochemistry laboratory for research studies also will be part of the facility.
