Dementia Research Funding

Grants, fellowships and studentships — mostly UK, some international

Open dementia research funding calls, grants and fellowships — with deadlines, eligibility and direct links to apply.

We list opportunities across dementia and neurodegeneration research: doctoral studentships, early career and senior fellowships, project and programme grants, pump-priming and pilot awards, travel and networking funds. The bulk of what we carry comes from UK research councils and national charities, but we include international calls where they’re open to researchers outside the funder’s own country.

Each listing gives a summary, the closing date, who can apply, and a link straight through to the funder’s own page. Use the filters to narrow by funder, career stage or deadline.

  • Looking for a post, not a grant? Funded PhD and fellowship positions are on our jobs board.
  • Based outside the UK? We can’t claim to cover everything worldwide — Alz Forum carries a wider range of international calls.
