This scheme aims to enable the retention of early career researchers in dementia research or to address particular pinch points in their career path.

Deadline: 1 November 2023

The scheme may be used to cover funding gaps. Early career researchers must justify how funds will enable them to continue to develop their careers in dementia research, and must present a concrete plan to secure further, longer-term funding (e.g., fellowship or project grant).

Provided to cover salary, staff members, animals, running costs (consumables, travel etc.) or any combinations of these.

Duration: Up to 6 months (up to 12 months part time). The duration can be extended where there is a co-funding arrangement in place.
