Our funding schemes

Our PhD Studentship grants provide funding for students wishing to embark on a career in dementia research.

Research 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 more established researchers and provide funding for world-class dementia research.

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 funding stream has changed. Learn more about our Care, Implementation and Public Health funding stream. 

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

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.
