New Vision Research (NVR) is a private non-profit organization that is transforming the way medical research is funded by investing in researchers with innovative ideas, early in their career. NVR specifically supports individuals who push the boundaries of current research and whose high-risk approaches are less likely to be funded through traditional means. NVR fosters collaboration and funds early-career researchers by sponsoring conferences in disease specific areas, including its principle conference, the Charleston Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease (CCAD). NVR also identifies and supports emerging leaders with innovative research in their fields.
