NIH Awards $12.6 Million for USC AI Alzheimer's Study

The National Institutes of Health awarded a $12.6 million grant to expand an AI-driven Alzheimer’s study ^[1]. The University of Southern California leads this multi-institutional project known as AI4AD2 ^[1][2]. Researchers will use artificial intelligence to decode the biological causes of the disease ^[1][3]. The initiative utilizes brain imaging and multi-omics data to predict how the disease progresses ^[1][2]. These tools help identify new targets for future treatments ^[1]. This award is part of a larger $30.7 million investment in USC-led research ^[1][3].
