Sarah Roush Memorial Fellowship in Alzheimer's Disease Research

Through a generous donation from James and Nancy Carpenter, as well as a matching contribution from the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute, the Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center established the Sarah Roush Memorial Fellowship in Alzheimer’s Disease Research, an annual postdoctoral fellowship supplement that provides $22,500 per annum to enhance fellows’ current research in the field of Alzheimer’s disease or other neurodegenerative dementing illnesses. These funds may be used for part of a fellow’s stipend or for direct research costs, subject to approval by the mentor and program committee. The Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center strongly encourages applications from women and underrepresented minority candidates.
