All applications must fall within Alzheimer’s Research UK’s remit which covers biomedical research in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Alzheimer’s Research UK funds research into treatment, diagnosis and prevention.  

Of particular importance is research which has translational potential to benefit people with or at risk of dementia. This includes basic preclinical as well as clinical research, but not care or service delivery research.
