National Alzheimer's Project Act

The National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA), enacted in 2011, is a U.S. law that aims to improve research, care, and support for people affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It establishes a national plan to coordinate efforts among government agencies, healthcare providers, and researchers to better understand the disease, develop treatments, and enhance care. NAPA also emphasizes early diagnosis, public awareness, and support for families. Its goal is to reduce the burden of Alzheimer's on individuals, families, and society by advancing scientific progress and ensuring comprehensive, coordinated efforts.
