The NYU Silberstein Aging & Dementia Research Center (ADRC), is a division of the Department of Psychiatry at New York University School of Medicine, located in midtown Manhattan, in New York City, New York. The ADRC is one of thirty Alzheimer's disease research centers in the United States supported by the National Institutes of Health. As an NIH-supported research facility, the center's goals are to advance current knowledge and understanding of brain aging and Alzheimer's disease, to expand the numbers of scientists working in the field of aging and Alzheimer's research, to work toward better treatment options and care for those living with memory impairment, and most importantly, to apply its findings to the care of patients and their families, and share these findings with healthcare providers, researchers, and the general public. The fulfillment of the ADRC's goals is made possible not only by a dedicated staff that includes expert researchers and experienced clinicians representing many disciplines, including general medicine, psychiatry, neuropathology, psychology, neuropsychology, epidemiology, social work, and gerontology, but also through collaboration with many departments within the NYU School of Medicine and NYU Medical Center, as well as several highly recognized research institutes in the United States. The ADRC's programs and services are directed toward providing its patients and their families with the highest quality diagnostic evaluations, the latest treatment options available, psychosocial support, and education that reflect the most up-to-date information about Alzheimer's disease and memory impairment. The ADRC's programs and services extend to other research facilities and to healthcare professionals through shared knowledge and collaboration, and to the general public through seminars, presentations at community centers, the ADRC's newsletter and this web site. Programs and services at the ADRC are supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health, and other federal agencies, such as the Administration on Aging, by grants from private foundations and industry, and by generous contributions from individual donors. |
