Boosting Dementia Research Grants Scheme: Priority Round 5

Overview

This call will address the challenges in providing dementia risk reduction and prevention treatments and programs by supporting research that will deliver to the Australian community high quality, evidenced-based information on key risk factors of dementia for effective interventions that will decrease the prevalence or delay the onset of dementia. Knowledge translation is central to the initiative, given that research translation remains one of the biggest challenges to dementia risk reduction and prevention. This call aligns with the NHMRC National Institute for Dementia Research (NNIDR) Strategic Roadmap for Dementia Research and Translation by directly addressing the Priority theme of Prevention and desired outcome of supporting research that leads to effective interventions to reduce the risk of dementia and lower the incidence of dementia.
