ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS) AND HIGHLY PROTECTED (E.G. SOLID TUMORS AND CERTAIN TYPES OF HEART ATTACK AND STROKE.) - CONDUCTING BASIC OR LABORATORY RESEARCH IN CONJUNCTION WITH MEDICAL OR CLINICAL RESEARCH. - EXPANDING AWARENESS THROUGH EDUCATION OUTREACH, GOVERNMENT ADVOCACY, AND PUBLIC RELATIONS WORK IN COORDINATION WITH AND FOR THE CRNIC INSTITUTE AND GLOBAL'S OTHER AFFILIATES.
