IDSA EDUCATION AND RESEARCH FOUNDATION

Programs

1. The microbial pathogenesis in alzheimer's disease program (alz/id) was launched to support innovativeresearch that may link infectious diseases and alzheimer's disease. This research includes basic,clinical and/or non-traditional research approaches across a wide range of disciplines including neurology, microbiology, pathology, virology, and bacteriology. In 2022, idsa foundation received grants totaling $3.3 million to fund research awards for this program. In 2023, awards of approximately $2.5 million were granted to researchers, in addition to other incurred expenses related to the program. Due to the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles (gaap), the timing of the revenue and expense recognition created a large surplus in 2022 and a large deficit in 2023. In 2023, the program launched the first microbial pathogenesis in alzheimer's disease symposium, provided ongoing assistance and monitoring for existing grantees. No additional grants were issued in 2024, although additional funds are available for grants in 2025.
