The SPIN Dementia Network+ announced the launch of the SPIN-D Flexible Fund, aimed at supporting early career researchers (ECRs) focusing on dementia risk factors, risk reduction, and improving care for individuals living with dementia in their own homes. This initiative encourages innovative research proposals that align with the network’s objectives.

This Livestream recording provides information on their ‘Flexible Funding Call’ which opened on the 31st January 2025 and closes on the 31st March 2025.

The fund is open to supporting projects that will delve deeper into our understanding of dementia, or share findings from previous studies. They are interested in the role that different risk factors can play in determining whether people go on to develop dementia, and how symptoms advance. They are also interested in projects that test ways to reduce dementia risk and improve care and support for those living with dementia in their own homes.
