ESRC-NIHR dementia research initiative 2018

Julie Simpson - January 31, 2018

ESRC and the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) are pleased to invite outline proposals to undertake social science research to support innovation in dementia prevention, interventions and care delivery.

The PI must be based at a research organisation eligible for research council funding to apply.

Building on the success of the 2012 ESRC-NIHR dementia initiative, they are seeking to fund large grants which will be national or international focal points for social science research in dementia, making a significant contribution to scientific, economic and societal impact.

Proposals are expected to be between £2 million and £5 million (at 100% full economic cost) with a duration of between 36 and 60 months.

The call has a fixed start date and the usual three month start period rules do not apply. Grants must start on 1 January 2019.
For details of the call please refer to the ESRC website.
The deadline to submit outline proposals is 16.00 on 15 March 2018
