Three-fifths of the U.S. Senate is now backing Sen. Roger Wicker’s bill to encourage more public-private collaboration in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

As of July 14, the bipartisan bill has reached a total of 61 Senate cosponsors.

Wicker authored the “Ensuring Useful Research Expenditures is Key for Alzheimer’s (EUREKA) Act,” S. 2067, last September to create prize-based incentives in the fight against a disease that affects more than 5 million Americans.
