The National Institutes of Health (NIH) campuses host a variety of events that inform, challenge, and unite the biomedical research community. IRP investigators lead or participate in many of these events, and they regularly present their work at scientific conferences at the NIH and around the world. We invite you to learn about (and possibly join us in) some of our upcoming events. Unless otherwise noted, times listed are Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The ADRD Summit 2025 will be held virtually on April 29, April 30, and June 2.The Summit provides an opportunity for public comments and discussions to help shape future recommendations for ADRD research priorities.
The ADRD Summits complement the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Summits, and the National Research Summits on Care, Services, and Supports. These summits are coordinated planning efforts that respond to the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, first released in 2012 and now updated annually. The conferences set national research recommendations that reflect critical scientific priorities for research on Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias (AD/ADRD).
The ADRD Summit 2025 will address research priorities for Alzheimer's disease-related dementias, including frontotemporal degeneration, Lewy body, multiple etiology dementias, and vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia, along with broader cross-cutting areas. Significant portions of the Summit will be dedicated to public comment on the updated draft research recommendations. The Summit will conclude with a review of the highlights from the sessions and summary of the major themes from the public comments. Based on input received at the Summit, the recommendations will be revised and presented to the NINDS Council for approval. Approved recommendations will become research milestones in the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease.
Registration is required. Please register by April 29, 2025.
NIH will hold its annual Research Festival September 9–12, 2025, in Building 10 on the NIH Bethesda campus. The event will feature lectures, posters, workshops, and a Green Labs Fair. Additional vendors will exhibit on September 11 and 12. A call for posters and an agenda will be posted in June.
