Description
Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Programme Award supports ambitious, integrated programmes addressing a complex central theme in dementia research. Designed for established research leaders, it brings together complementary disciplines, methodologies, technologies and expertise across multiple workstreams. The emphasis is on a cohesive, collaborative team-science effort rather than a collection of separate projects.
The scheme aims to tackle major challenges in dementia and deliver sustained, long-term, transformative impact. Programmes should demonstrate clear pathways to translation and benefit for people affected by dementia, while building critical mass and leadership within the dementia research community. Applications undergo Outline and invited Full review stages, with an interview at the Full application stage.
