Funding for research

Our foundation exists to find better ways to treat, and ultimately cure, neurodegenerative diseases of ageing. We cannot do this without biomarkers, which are vital to diagnosis, to monitoring disease progression, to developing new treatments and to measuring responses to those treatments. This funding programme therefore focuses on the support of novel biomarkers with the potential to accelerate the development of new therapeutics for these diseases. Grants of up to £350,000 are available to support projects of up to three years in duration.

Applications are now closed for our 2024 funding programme: Characterisation of Novel Biomarkers for Neurodegenerative Diseases of Ageing.

Invitations for full proposals were issued in May, and successful applicants will be notified in November.

Funding for support

Information on the criteria and application process for our funding programme for support will be available later in 2024.
