2025 LBDA Research Funding Awards

Mentorship Program Award

RCOE New Site Award
The LBDA Research Centers of Excellence (RCOE) program aims to increase access to clinical care expertise and establish a clinical trials-ready network of nationally recognized LBD research centers.

LBDA Research Project Award
This award supports research in areas identified by LBDA as strategic research priorities that address the unmet needs of people with LBD and their care partners.
