Description
Alzheimer’s Research UK invites expressions of interest (EOIs) from researchers aiming to lead new, ambitious dementia research networks. These networks are intended to unite researchers across disciplines, institutions, and career stages, addressing key gaps or opportunities in dementia research. The initiative seeks to support science-led, innovative collaborations with a clear scientific or research culture theme, fostering skills development, research culture, and impactful, nationwide or international activity. Networks may be newly formed or build on existing collaborations, but must demonstrate ambition, a strong scientific rationale, and a compelling vision for network-building and collaboration.
