The Government today announced the opening of a new joint fellowship scheme to support research into dementia, funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council and the Australian Research Council as part of the Government’s $200 million ‘Boosting Dementia Research’ budget initiative. This complex and increasingly common disease will receive detailed attention from many walks of research, from neuroscience and bioinformatics to cultural, social and economic research. The Australian Government has already announced other elements of its dementia initiative including NHMRC Dementia Research Team Grants and the establishment of the NHMRC National Institute for Dementia Research. The Institute will target and co-ordinate the national research effort and ensure translation into better treatments, care and services to dementia sufferers, carers and their communities. Researchers can now apply for the grants through NHMRC. Further information is available on the NHMRC website.
