Alongside significant co-investment from Imperial College London, the expected outcome of this funding is the concluded refurbishment of a floor in the new Michael Uren with space for 64+ researchers. An interim solution at the Burlington Danes facility at Hammersmith campus is being used before completion of the final location at the Michael Uren, ready for occupancy by September 2019. Additionally, £1.5m for procurement of capital equipment is being provided to assist the UK DRI in implementing its first scientific programmes (funding provided separately).Together, the building and equipment will provide the location for, in the initial stages of 5 programmes, and then to grow significantly in number in subsequent years. The UK DRI as a whole will help to cement the UK’s world-leading position by also promoting innovate approaches and forging much closer collaboration and integration of on-going UK research efforts. The new institute has been established to lead the UK’s dementia research effort and forms a core part of achieving the Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia 2020.
