Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center records, 1988-1999

2 linear feet

MADRC began in 1989 at the University of Michigan with funding from the National Institute on Aging. Goals of the center include promoting research and education on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias with an emphasis on clinical and basic research. Records pertain to the administration of the center, and include research grants, satellite clinic training material, and material from conferences, committees and seminars devoted to promoting recent findings in Alzheimer's research and treatment.

The MADRC records come from the Administrative Core of the MADRC, which oversees all of the other cores. Because of the Administrative Core's coordinating role, the record group contains information pertaining to the activities of all the cores. The arrangement of the record group reflects the original order of the material, which was contained in three-ring binders with tabbed divisions. The records of the MADRC date from 1988 to 1999 and measure two linear feet. The record group is divided into three series: Grants, Satellite Clinics, and Conferences, Committees, and Networks. Much of the material consists of "stand-alone" files, such as grant applications and seminar documentation, which are arranged topically and have tables of contents to guide the reader. The rest of the material, correspondence and the like, is arranged chronologically, with the inclusion of some undated material.
