Every single application we receive is reviewed and scored by both peer reviewers and people affected by dementia. Our volunteers share their advice for researchers applying to our funding schemes.  

The Alzheimer's Society research funding programme is unique as it offers each funded researcher the opportunity to work with our Research Network volunteers who all have a personal experience of dementia - living with the condition or as a carer or former carer.

At Alzheimer's Society, we use research evidence to inform decision-making and enable better health, care and wellbeing for people affected by dementia.

The Dementia Research Excellence and People Awards recognise the contribution that early and mid-career researchers make to dementia research and people affected by dementia.

Alzheimer’s Society wants to support researchers to carry out the highest quality, innovative research that will have a positive impact for people affected by dementia.
