An initiative for Alzheimer's disease clinical studies that works to facilitate the discovery, development and testing of new drugs, and is a part of the Alzheimer's Disease Prevention Initiative. This resource has an emphasis on expanding the range of its patients, mainly by enhancing the recruitment of minority groups. There is a further emphasis placed on testing agents that cannot be patented, as well as developing novel compounds that had been developed by individuals, academic institutions and drug discovery units. This resource also helps in the development of Alzheimer's disease centers to carry out studies, as well as establish administrative, data, operations and medical cores in San Diego. This organization is specifically involved in studies demonstrating the lack of benefit associated, previously used treatments such as: the use of estrogen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, B vitamins and a statin drug. The Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study also develops assessment instruments to be used in clinical trials. The most frequently used of these tools include: the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive sub-scale (ADAS-cog), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and the Clinical Global Impression of Change Scale (CGIC). There is also an associated tissue bank at UCSD that includes materials from the clinical trials including: human tissue, blood, plasma, DNA, urine and cerebrospinal fluid.

An organization which includes a tissue bank, a database, study design consultation, clinical resources, and a community registry database. The UK-ADC shares data with the NIA national database (NACC), as well as with independent, qualified investigators both within and outside the UK-ADC. This resource's associated tissue bank is comprised of anonymized brain tissue, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients in the clinic, as well as frozen post-mortem brain tissue samples. This organization also shares research resources with the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC), NACC collaborative initiatives, the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), other Alzheimer Disease Centers (ADCs), and any qualified investigators from either the University of Kentucky or the general scientific community.
