Proposed Practitioner Fellowship research will simultaneously include epidemiological and basic scientific projects, emphasising human prion disease. Epidemiological research will involve large-scale studies to clarify genetic factors that influence susceptibility to developing prion disease, as well as clarify whether Alzheimer disease is transmissible, while basic scientific research will include determining the characteristics of the misfolded prion proteins causing neuronal disease.

拟议的从业者奖学金研究将同时包括流行病学和基础科学项目，重点是人类朊病毒疾病。流行病学研究将涉及大规模研究，以澄清影响朊病毒病易感性的遗传因素，以及澄清阿尔茨海默病是否具有传染性，而基础科研将包括确定导致神经元疾病的错误折叠朊病毒蛋白质的特征。
