Funding Opportunities

The Alzheimer’s Research UK London Network Centre invites applications for ‘Cross-London small collaborative pump priming’ grants.

Cross-London Pump Priming grants aim to encourage new collaborations between dementia researchers at different London institutions and therefore priority is given to applications that support new collaborations (though this is not necessary, particularly for early career researchers (ECRs)).

All applicants must be members of the ARUK London Network Centre. If you are not currently a member and want to join the ARUK London Network Centre complete this form.

Applications must involve a collaboration between researchers at 2 or more different London institutions.

Projects must fall within ARUK’s remit: research into causes, cures, preventions, diagnoses and treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. These include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementias.

Grants for this call are worth up to £5000 over a maximum of 12 months and cannot include salary costs.

Applications are open to both PIs and ECRs, but ECRs must have permission from their PI and include a signature from their PI on the application form. Members of the UK Dementia Research Institute are eligible as co-applicants but not as principal applicants.

Applications should be completed using this form and should include a 1-page CV for each applicant/co-applicant. Please submit your completed application including CVs as one single pdf file.

Completed applications should be sent to Jeremy Wiltshire ([email protected]).

The deadline for submission is 5pm, 24^th February, 2023.

Applications will be reviewed by the London network committee with outcomes expected by mid-March 2023.
