Description
Alzheimer's Research UK's Programme Award supports established research leaders pursuing ambitious, sustained work around a complex central theme in dementia research. It funds cohesive programmes with multiple coordinated workstreams, rather than separate projects grouped under one heading.
The scheme seeks teams that combine complementary expertise, disciplines, methodologies and technologies to tackle major dementia challenges. Programmes should have the potential for long-term impact, clear pathways to translation and patient benefit, and the capacity to build leadership within the dementia research community.
