In the Life Sciences Vision, the Government committed to a healthcare mission to improve translational capabilities in neurodegeneration and dementia. The Office for Life Sciences are working with the Medical Research Council, industry, charities, academia and the wider sector to scope this Mission.

The Government has committed to invest £375 million in neurodegenerative disease research over the next five years to fund projects into a range of diseases including dementia. We are working on ways to significantly boost further research on dementia to support the delivery of the moonshot and we will be setting out our plans on dementia for England for future years in 2022. This will include our ambitions for dementia research and boosting dementia research funding.
