The key provisions of the bill include: expanding access to Alzheimer's research centers in areas with higher concentrations of minority groups; providing outreach and education efforts to increase awareness and participation of minority groups in Alzheimer's clinical trials; offering incentives and training to encourage principal investigators and researchers from underrepresented populations to participate in Alzheimer's research; and modifying clinical trial eligibility criteria to better reflect the diversity of the patient population. The bill also authorizes $60 million in funding per year from 2022 to 2026 to implement these changes.
