Description

The Alzheimer’s Research UK Project Award supports substantial, hypothesis-driven research projects that address well-defined questions in dementia research. This scheme is designed for established researchers aiming to advance understanding in areas such as disease mechanisms, diagnosis, and prevention of dementia. Projects must be grounded in strong scientific rationale and preliminary data, with clear objectives and deliverables expected within the award period. The scheme can also support an integrated PhD scholarship if robust doctoral training plans are included. Applications are assessed for scientific excellence, potential impact, and quality of public engagement, with input from both expert review panels and lived experience reviewers.
