A $1 million research grant is being offered to experts wanting to move into dementia research in Australia.
The funding was announced on Thursday by the Dementia Australia Research Foundation and The Yulgilbar Foundation.
Dementia Australia chair Professor Graeme Samuel says it's an opportunity for researchers, especially those outside the field of traditional dementia research, to offer new approaches.
The foundations hope the grant will lead to discoveries that will prevent, delay the onset, slow the progress and ultimately, cure dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
