Our funding schemes

The objective of Alzheimer's Society PhD Studentship grants is to provide funding for new PhD studentships in the areas of cause, cure, care or prevention of all types of dementia.

Junior Fellowships are for post-doctoral researchers who have shown exceptional promise at the start of their research career. Applicants should demonstrate potential to be an independent researcher.

Undergraduate research bursaries aim to give students dementia research experience and to encourage them to consider a career in scientific research.

A Senior Fellowship is for post-doctoral or other successful researchers who wish to build on a number of successful years of dementia research, and who demonstrate the ambition and potential to be a leader in their research field at the end of the award.

Clinician and Healthcare Professional Training Fellowships provide an opportunity for individuals to study for a higher degree with a view to developing a career that combines research and practice.

Institutions can apply for up to three Fellowships for clinicians or healthcare professionals to undertake study towards a higher degree (usually a PhD).

Project grants are for researcher led applications to enable world-class research in to the cause, cure, care or prevention of any form of dementia.

Our Drug Discovery programme funds research to identify and test drug treatments for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Dissemination grants provide funding for researchers who wish to disseminate the findings of a completed research programme or project.

Our Implementation grant scheme is open to researchers looking to move tested evidence based interventions into the real world setting, to translate research into practice. 

The care collaboration grant round is a pilot that has been designed to support care providers to become more actively involved in research. 

Alzheimer's Society is funding eight Doctoral Training Centres across the UK to develop the next generation of Dementia Research Leaders.

These fellowships allow researchers to spend a period of time in the Netherlands or the UK to establish and strengthen collaborations between researchers and research groups.
