Applications Now Open for Alzheimer’s Research UK David Hague Early Career Investigator of the Year Award 2019

The David Hague Early Career Investigator of the Year Award aims to recognise the contribution of an outstanding early career researcher in the field of biomedical dementia research. Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK) also aims to raise the profile of excellence in dementia research through the award.

The award consists of £25,000 in research expenses and a personal prize of £1,500, as well as the winner’s expenses for attending ARUK’s Annual Research Conference which will be held in Harrogate, UK, 19-20 March 2019.

Candidates will be judged by an external panel of prominent researchers, who will look for excellence in scientific research and a significant contribution to the field of dementia research as demonstrated through the candidates’ defining research outputs and essay. Early career researchers from anywhere in the world with less than 10 years post-PhD experience (excluding career breaks) are eligible to apply. Entrants must submit a 1,000 word essay explaining how their three defining research outputs have contributed to their development across ARUK’s Early Career Research Framework.

The winner will be notified in December 2018, and will be required to present at the ARUK Annual Research Conference.
