Description
The Pilot Projects scheme from Alzheimer's Research UK funds novel, early-stage research in dementia with the aim of generating preliminary data or testing new concepts that could lead to larger projects or collaborations, including with the ARUK Drug Discovery Alliance. The scheme supports a variety of research-related costs (including salaries, equipment, animal costs, and consumables) and is designed to help researchers develop ideas that could progress to more substantial funding or collaborative opportunities within or beyond ARUK.
