Project grants
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.
Award
Funding is available for up to three years providing budgets for staff salary, consumables and equipment. All costs must be justified.
Applicants may apply for direct research costs up to £400,000 over 36 months to support their research.
Eligibility
- Project grants must be held at a UK based University, NHS site or other recognised higher research institution.
- Principal investigators should have a contract of employment with the host university that exceeds the planned finish date of the research by at least 12 months.
How to apply
All applications which fulfill the eligibility criteria will be scientifically peer reviewed and the lay proposal reviewed by research network volunteers. The peer and lay review will be considered together by our Grant Advisory Boards. Feedback is provided to all applicants.
