Alzheimer's Research UK funding opportunities 2017 (£ 100,000)

The Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) invites applications for different grant schemes. ARUK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity specialising in finding preventions, causes, treatments and a cure for dementia. ARUK has a large number of different grant schemes through which researchers can apply for funding. Grants are between £ 15,000 and £ 100,000.

Researchers can apply for:

• Pilot Project: up to £ 50,000. This can cover staff members, equipment, animals, running costs, or any combinations of these; 
• PhD Scholarship: a stipend of £ 15,000 per annum (£ 16,000 in London), PhD tuition fees at the Home/EU rate and research/travel costs These costs are normally for up to £ 10,000 per annum but ARUK will consider requests for up to £ 15,000 per annum if there is sufficient justification with inherently costly research (eg imaging, animal work);
• Extension: maximum of £ 100,000 for up to one year, can be applied for by current ARUK Major Project/Programme grant holders; 
• Network Cooperation: up to £ 100,000 for projects that will promote cooperation and collaboration between two or more ARUK Network Centres; 
• Preparatory Clinical Research Fellowship: funding for salary at Specialty Registrar level or equivalent university scales and a contribution toward research and travel costs (up to £20,000). The fellowships are designed for clinicians who are planning a career in academic medicine. The Fellowships last one year during which the Fellows are expected to acquire the research skills and experience to apply for full Clinical Research Fellowships. 

Upcoming deadline for all grants is October 4, 2017.
