“ We have propelled the federal government to rise to this challenge, resulting in a more than six-fold increase in federal Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding since 2011 ”
Your article says we’ve had a 6x increase. So, we’re approaching 1999 levels not accounting for inflation?
I believe we’re at around $35 billion for AIDS research.

So AIDS is still 10x greater?

By comparison, we spend closer to $200 billion/year on Alzheimer's treatment. Managing patients who are in severe cognitive decline is not cheap.
