Indicator name:
Dementia clinical/translational research, total expenditure (local currency, self-report)
Indicator Id:
5261
Rationale:
Government research investment is needed not only to find a cure for dementia, but also in other areas such as prevention, risk reduction, diagnosis, treatment and care - including the disciplines of social science, public health and implementation research. Increasing the investment in research is an integral component of the national response to dementia. It is important to allocate budgets to support collaborative national and international research to promote sharing of and open access to research data, to generate knowledge on how to translate what is already known about dementia into action, and to support the retention of the research workforce.
Definition:
Total government research expenditures on dementia-specific research conducted in/on living humans, that is patient-oriented. Where available, data collected by The EU Joint Programme Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) for the JPND mapping exercise of research in neurodegeneration is included. Responses are provided in local currency, self-reported, provided by the national authority.
Method of estimation:
Existence of a government statement, budgetary document, policy document, or research plan document on the specific government budget (GBAORD) as a way of measuring government support for R&D activities. Responses provided by the national authority.
