ADNI is governed by a Steering Committee comprised of the PI, all funded Core leaders, all site PIs, representatives of the NIH and FDA, and representatives of the companies contributing funding (observers only). Together, with the Executive Committee and the Industry Scientific Advisory Board, these bodies ensure that the ADNI project adheres to the study design and methodology laid out in the grant submission.

Achieving the aims of the ADNI study would not be possible without the collaboration of hundreds of researchers, staff, industry advisors and research volunteers.
