Project grants

Key dates and deadlines for research grant applications:

Award

Applicants may apply for direct costs of up to £400,000 to support their research including staff salary, consumables, and equipment. Funding is available for up to three years depending on the project type. However, we support researchers and their research teams to work flexibly to meet personal circumstances.  

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 institution that exceeds the planned finish date.  

Alzheimer’s Society is a proud supporter of early career researchers (ECRs) and strongly encourage all applications to include their ECRs as co-applicants in the applications. This can apply to post-doctoral researchers, clinical staff, technicians, or others. If you have any difficulties with institution regulations, please contact us.  

Remit

Alzheimer’s Society funds cutting-edge research into dementia. Applications are accepted for research projects addressing key unanswered questions within the dementia field.  

Applicants should consider how their project can contribute to Alzheimer’s Society’s strategy and research mission. 

Applicants must explain how their project contributes to the dementia field within these themes as alignment to our mission is incorporated into our scoring system at review.
