BRACE Dementia Research: Research grant

  Friday, 16 Dec 2022 | Funding Deadline

BRACE is dedicated to funding research into the different forms of dementia. They support medical and scientific research in four main areas:

• How the brain works, in order to understand more clearly what has gone wrong in someone with dementia.
• Development of effective and accurate means of diagnosing the condition as early as possible
• Finding new treatments and assessing their effectiveness in clinical trials
• Investigating the potential link between certain genes in our DNA (the information we carry in each cell in our body) and the chances of developing dementia.

BRACE is committed to funding high quality research projects that ultimately contribute to the knowledge of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. These projects may be in any discipline but must have as the basis of the project, an intention to generate results that will bring further understanding of the risk factors/causes, effective diagnosis or treatment of dementia. All researchers must have the intention of publishing the results of their studies. BRACE will consider applications for PhD studentships, pilot projects and equipment grants.

Applications will be considered from researchers in South West England or South Wales. Applications from outside this region will not be considered.

Deadline for proposals: 16 December 2022
