N1 - Funding Information:
Benefits of the EU-NA enterprise could extend well beyond the central mission of developing the resources to perform large studies on diverse populations. International collaborations can be tremendously attractive to young investigators seeking to establish themselves in a fast-moving research area. In addition, by establishing an exclusive “club” of investigators doing high-quality work, the enterprise may enhance participants' success in receiving funding from the NIH, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the European Commission, and other agencies. High-quality data may also encourage these agencies to develop funding mechanisms that would use the resources of the consortium.

N2 - In recognition of the global problem posed by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, an international think-tank meeting was convened by Biocat, the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, and the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute in February 2009. The meeting initiated the planning of a European Union-North American collaborative research enterprise to expedite the delay and ultimate prevention of dementing disorders. The key aim is to build parallel and complementary research infrastructure that will support international standardization and inter-operability among researchers in both continents. The meeting identified major challenges, opportunities for research resources and support, integration with ongoing efforts, and identification of key domains to influence the design and administration of the enterprise.
