  • The Public Health Research (PHR) Programme is accepting stage one applications to this funding opportunity. Dementia is a growing challenge that has become one of the most important health and social care issues facing the world.

ABOUT THIS FUNDING

Dementia is a growing challenge that has become one of the most important health and social care issues facing the world. In the UK it is estimated that dementia affects around 850,000 people. Commitments under the Government’s Challenge on Dementia and the G8 Dementia Summit have highlighted the need to boost dementia research, led by the research community. Since the Dementia Themed call in 2011, the NIHR has funded an extensive portfolio of dementia research and the Clinical Research Network has supported the delivery of a large number of projects.
