Abstract

Scientific evidence continues to demonstrate the linkage of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. In December, 2013, the Alzheimer's Association, with scientific input from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute from the National Institutes of Health, convened scientific experts to discuss the research gaps in our understanding of how vascular factors contribute to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. This manuscript summarizes the meeting and the resultant discussion, including an outline of next steps needed to move this area of research forward.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
The mobilization of such studies will require significant and targeted investment at the national and international levels. To help initiate the global commitment of both the funding and the scientific communities, the Alzheimer's Association launched a targeted grant program to fund pilot investigations for further discovery, and ultimately, motivate increased new investment by the international scientific funding communities into the VCID area of study.
