The Dementia Network Plus initiative is a strategic investment that brings together four individual networks of multidisciplinary researchers, policymakers, professionals and lived experience experts that will provide leadership and knowledge exchange across a variety of sectors.
Unique to the initiative, each network has its own ‘plus funds’ a pot of flexible funding to develop, distribute and run opportunities for smaller projects and other activities throughout the lifetime of the award. These funds will help bring individuals and organisations into the network and grow further connections.
This initiative will drive positive change for those affected by dementia by focusing research efforts on the most important topics of inequality, dementia prevention, early diagnosis, and dementia workforce.
