Every year, the SDRC conducts a mapping exercise of the Scottish dementia and brain health research landscape. We publish results of this which covers who is doing research in Scotland, their grant awards, published papers and international collaborators. 

Highlights of these results include:

  • We attracted 51 research grant awards, totaling £16.5 million in research grants.
  • Over 900 Scottish-based researchers either contributed to a research paper or had been part of a grant application over 1500 times.
  • Researchers published 352 papers into scientific journals.
  • We collaborated with almost 1500 international researchers in 42 countries 

 The full mapping will feature in the SDRC Annual Report, which we will publish soon. In the meantime, you can view a summary of the mapping results which were shared with delegates of the Celebrating Scottish Research Conference.

The Scottish Dementia Research Consortium (SDRC) is a network of over 1000 dementia researchers, policy makers and people living with dementia from across Scotland. The membership-based organisation was formed in 2013. SDRC champions the work of world-class dementia researchers in all disciplines across Scotland. In addition, the SDRC aims to help develop this research further still by promoting collaboration and the sharing of new ideas among its membership.
