Baldwin Announces $3 Million Grant for Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Research Center

U-S Senator Tammy Baldwin says the National Institutes of Health is awarding a three-million-dollar grant to the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at U-W.  Baldwin said, “this federal funding will enhance the work of the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center so they can continue their innovative research on preventative treatment options to help slow, and eventually stop, the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.”  She helped secure the investments as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.  Baldwin says more than five million Americans live with Alzheimer’s and it places huge demands on caregivers and the health care system.
