I'm sorry for you and your father, but research fraud didn't cause his Alzheimers. It sucks that there is no treatment or cure but that is the case with a lot of diseases.
I think something like fines equivalent to the amounts of the grants for the institution, and professional censure and a ban from working in grant-funded research for the researcher, would be more effective and appropriate than prison.
