SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Building Digital Maturity in Care Homes
DESCRIPTION:How well is technology embedded into everyday life in UK care homes? And what needs to change for digital approaches to genuinely support residents\, staff and services? \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week we host a 45 minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods and ideas. \nIn this session\, Dr Maria Drummond will present work from Embedding Technology in Care Homes: Progress towards Digital Maturity (ETECH-DM)\, a 30-month mixed-methods study examining digital maturity in care homes across the UK. \nMaria will explore how technology is currently being used in everyday care home life\, the barriers and enablers influencing digital development\, and how technology could support person-centred care\, staff wellbeing and service delivery. Drawing on sociotechnical perspectives\, the project will work with the sector to co-design practical tools and guidance to help care homes navigate digital transformation. \nThe session will also introduce findings and learning from the project’s UK-wide survey of older adult care homes\, mapping digital infrastructure\, technology use\, workforce readiness\, leadership approaches and priorities for future development. \nMaria is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Glasgow and Team Leader for ENRICH Scotland\, which works to support research within care home settings and strengthen collaboration between researchers\, care home staff\, residents and families. \nAttendees can expect a practical and research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:ISTAART Guide to Grants: After You Hit Submit
DESCRIPTION:Session one of the ISTAART Guide to Grants webinar series takes you inside the Alzheimer’s Association grants team\, to see what actually happens to your Letter of Intent once you hit submit. \nThe team will walk through what happens after an LOI lands in proposalCENTRAL\, so you understand their process from the other side of the screen\, and share their own tips and tricks for getting it right. \nThe series comes from the Alzheimer’s Association International Research Program\, which funds investigators at every career stage\, and takes you behind the scenes of its grants process from Letter of Intent (LOI) through to peer review. Join one session or all six. It is aimed at anyone who finds the funding process daunting\, particularly early in their career\, and is worth a look whether you are preparing a first application or scanning our funding calls for the next one. \nPresenters\n\nSarah Fontaine\, Senior Director\, Medical and Scientific Relations\, Alzheimer’s Association\nCarolyn Hronec\, Senior Grants Specialist\, Alzheimer’s Association\n\nGuest speakers join selected sessions to add their own perspectives. \nThe full series\n\nWednesday 28 October 2026\, 3pm UK: After You Hit Submit\nWednesday 16 December 2026\, 4pm UK: The LOI\, Line by Line\nTuesday 2 February 2027\, 4pm UK: Reading the RFA Like a Reviewer\nWednesday 3 March 2027\, 4pm UK: What Your Budget Has to Prove\nWednesday 14 April 2027\, 4pm UK: Writing the Critique You’d Want to Get\nWednesday 26 May 2027\, 4pm UK: What Gets Said in the Room\n\nEvery session starts at 10am US Central Time.
