Description: 

The National Institutes of Health will increase funding for Alzheimers research by $50 million in the next five years. The National Alzheimers Association applauded the funding, but cautioned that it is still far short of the amount needed to significantly change Alzheimers treatment options. The association says $100 million should be allocated in the year 2001 alone.
