Grant application undergo a rigorous review process and are awarded on the basis of scientific merit in relation to Alzheimer’s Research UK’s remit, suitability for the scheme applied for, and open competition.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and follows their guidelines for best practice in peer review. We also abide by conflict of interest policy throughout the review process.
The scientific merit of an application and the track record of the applicants are the key determinants of outcome, although the strength of the dementia research environment within the Host institution is also considered.
Grants are reviewed by distinct review panels, depending on the grant scheme applied to and the expertise required to review them. It is therefore important that applications are submitted to the most appropriate grant scheme.
A typical review process for applications submitted through our response mode funding schemes is demonstrated below. However, please refer to our grant schemes page for more information on the review processes for individual schemes.
