Description
The Project Award from Alzheimer's Research UK is designed to fund substantial, hypothesis-driven research projects that address well-defined questions in dementia research. This scheme aims to move beyond exploratory studies, supporting impactful research that advances understanding of disease mechanisms, diagnosis, or prevention of dementia. Projects must have clear objectives, measurable outcomes, and be grounded in a strong scientific rationale with supporting preliminary data. The award can also support integrated PhD scholarships, provided robust doctoral training plans are in place to ensure equal access to support for students.
