Capital award for UK DRI at University College London

除了来自伦敦大学学院的重大共同投资外，这笔资金的预期成果是完成对伦敦大学学院十字形大楼三个侧翼的翻新，以建立一个英国DRI的临时中心，可容纳100名研究人员，预计将于2018年3月全部入住。此外，还将提供250万英镑用于采购资本设备，以协助英国DRI实施其第一批科学计划（资金单独提供）。在最初的8个计划的初始阶段，建筑和设备将为随后几年的数量大幅增长提供场所。英国DRI作为一个整体将有助于巩固英国的世界领先地位，也促进创新方法和锻造更密切的合作和整合正在进行的英国研究工作。新研究所的成立是为了领导英国的痴呆症研究工作，并成为实现首相2020年痴呆症挑战的核心部分。

Alongside significant co-investment from University College London, the expected outcome of this funding is the concluded refurbishment of three wings in UCL’s Cruciform building to establish an Interim Hub of the UK DRI with capacity for 100 researchers and full occupancy expected by March 2018.. Additionally, £2.5m 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 8 programmes initially, 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.
