UK DRI: Meet the Funders

Thinking about applying for fellowships or for your first independent grant and would like to get some guidance? Register for this event dedicated to UK DRI early career researchers (postdoctoral level/newly appointed independent investigators). You will have an opportunity to hear about available support schemes from major dementia funders (MRC, Wellcome, Alzheimer’s Research UK, Alzheimer’s Society) and about the NIHR Dementia Researcher website. In addition, Profs. Nick Fox and Giampietro Schiavo will provide their perspectives as experienced reviewers of proposals for the above funders.
