Pre-announcement: ageing research development awards

Apply for funding to develop tractable avenues of research to secure better health and wellbeing for individuals as they age.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding.

Successful projects will sit at the interface of council remits, drawing on interdisciplinary teams to develop scientific proof of concept.

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £400,000. UKRI will fund 80% of the full economic cost.

To be eligible to apply as principal investigator for this opportunity you must:

  • be a researcher employed by an eligible research organisation
  • usually have at least a postgraduate degree, although we expect most applicants to have a PhD or medical degree
  • show that you will direct the project and be actively engaged in the work
  • focus your application to develop tractable avenues of research in a key healthy ageing challenge area

Full details on what we’re looking for will be published when the opportunity opens on 3 January 2023.

UKRI will be available to answer questions on this at the webinar on 16 January 2023 at 2pm.
