• Launch new research initiatives to support at least six new projects or activities focused on policy and payment models, health insurance, and/or the ability of people and families to pay for and access needed services and supports. Supported projects could include micro-simulation modeling, prediction modeling, or observational studies that address related topics, such as:
  • The impact of health insurance access on health and wellbeing outcomes;
  • How incentive structures can improve care for persons living with Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease Related Dementias (AD/ADRD);
  • How policies of governments and other institutions influence access, use, and quality of health care;
  • How policies and payment models impact what care is provided to whom;
  • Research to estimate or project the burden of AD/ADRD as well as integrating economic issues related to uptake of health care services; and/or
  • How healthcare policies and payment models differentially affect access and quality of care received by persons living with dementia who are members of disparities priority populations (see NIA Health Disparities Research Framework ).
