About Race Against Dementia
Race Against Dementia is a charity founded by three-time world champion racing driver Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, after his wife, Helen, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. The charity raises funds to speed up efforts towards finding a cure for dementia through collaborations between industry and scientific experts. Since it was established in 2016, the charity has supported 65 top researchers globally and donated more than £15m to groundbreaking research.
RAD - UK DRI Fellowships harnessing AI/ML
In 2025, the UK DRI partnered with Race Against Dementia to launch a Fellowship Scheme designed to support the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) approaches to advance understanding of dementia and related conditions. The scheme aims to support the next generation of researchers to drive pioneering, high-impact research, build global collaborations, and transform the lives of those affected by dementia, using the latest advancements in AI and machine learning technology.
The scheme is open to early career researchers with a maximum of six years’ postdoctoral experience. Applicants from outside the field of neuroscience, or who have spent time in industry, are particularly encouraged to apply.
Funding for up to £500k is available for salary and project costs, distributed over four or five years. Successful awardees will benefit from a comprehensive training package to build leadership, communication, resilience and career development skills, including access to EMBO’s prestigious Lab Leadership course.
