Description
Alzheimer’s Research UK is inviting expressions of interest (EOIs) from researchers who wish to lead new or expanded dementia research networks. These networks should unite experts across disciplines, institutions, and career stages, with the aim of fostering collaboration, strengthening research culture, and advancing scientific understanding in biomedical and clinical dementia research. The initiative encourages innovative, ambitious proposals that address key gaps or opportunities and deliver impactful activities nationally or internationally. Successful networks will promote skills development, inclusivity, and resource sharing, and are expected to have strong leadership teams that include early career researcher (ECR) representation and leads for public and patient involvement and engagement (PPIE) and equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
