Race Against Dementia Fellowships
Founded by Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart, Race Against Dementia is a global charity, founded by Sir Jackie Stewart, to fund pioneering research into the prevention and cure of dementia.\n\nAdam Smith is in the driving seat, talking with Race Against Dementia CEO, Dr Penny Moyle, and Race Against Dementia Research Fellow, Dr Claire Durrant from The University of Edinburgh. In this week\u2019s show we learn about the charity, its mission, the unique Fellowship programme and provide advise for anyone thinking of applying for the current funding call (deadline 20th January 2021). \n\nThe Race Against Dementia Fellowship Programme draws from the most promising scientific talent around the world; to catalyse their research work by driving a shift in culture that learns from innovation in high technology engineering research and implementation, such as in Formula 1; and to drive collaboration across disciplines and institutions to help fast-track their progress to become leaders in the field.\n\nYou can find out more about our panellists, and read a transcript of this podcast on our website:\n\nhttps://www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/podcast-race-against-dementia-fellowships/\n_____________________________________________________________________\n\nFor more information on Race Against Dementia visit:\nhttps://www.raceagainstdementia.com/ \n\nFor information, and details on how to apply for the Race Against Dementia Fellowship (Deadline 20th January 2021), administered by Alzheimer\u2019s Research UK visit:\n\nhttps://www.alzheimersresearchuk.org/grants/race-dementia-fellowship/\n\nA webinar has been scheduled for 18:00 GMT on the 16th November.
