Description
Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Advanced Clinical Fellowship supports clinicians developing careers that combine dementia research and clinical practice. It provides research time, materials and training to help fellows move towards independent research programmes, with research informed and strengthened by concurrent clinical work.
The scheme funds clinical and translational projects aligned with the charity’s Research Strategy, focusing on dementia treatment, diagnosis and prevention. Applications involving interventional clinical trials and samples are particularly encouraged. Clinicians wishing to gain experience within a clinical trial alongside their research are also welcome. The anticipated commitment is 0.5 full-time equivalent (FTE) to the fellowship, alongside clinical duties, although flexible approaches to research-dedicated time will be considered.
