AI-Generated Summary

Updated January 20, 2026 at 2:43 AM UTC

The Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act requires the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to produce an annual budget estimate for its Alzheimer’s‑related initiatives under the National Alzheimer’s Project Act. The estimate must be sent to the President, then transmitted to Congress, and includes projected personnel needs. This aims to improve transparency and oversight of federal spending on Alzheimer’s research and care.

Key Provisions

  • Amends the National Alzheimer’s Project Act to add a new subsection requiring a “Professional Judgment Budget.”
  • Directs the NIH Director to prepare and submit an annual budget estimate for Alzheimer’s initiatives to the President for review and onward to Congress each fiscal year, after a comment period involving HHS and the Advisory Council.
  • The budget estimate must include projected numbers and types of personnel needed for the NIH’s Alzheimer’s programs.
