Mission Statement
Race Against Dementia raises and allocates funds to accelerate global research and development in the race to find a prevention or treatment for dementia. Our vision is a breakthrough in the prevention or treatment of dementia with the greatest of urgency. We do this through our 4 key tenets: NEW TALENT. Identifying and financially backing the most talented early-career researchers. INNOVATION. We provide catalyst funding, enabling researchers to pursue higher risk, innovative ideas that might not get funded by the mainstream. SPEED. We aim to instil a ‘Formula 1 attitude’ in attention to detail and urgency, to accelerate the pace of solutions development. GLOBAL. We form strong alliances with research centres of excellence on a global basis.
About This Cause
Race Against Dementia's first investment, of £2 million, is to create the Race Against Dementia postdoctoral fellowship programme, in collaboration with Alzheimer's Research UK. The Race Against Dementia Fellowship Programme will draw 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.
