N.B. The new Age UK website is now live at www.ageuk.org.uk and www.helptheaged.org.uk has been taken offline

Welcome to the Research into Ageing microsite formerly of Help the Aged, now of Age UK - the new force combining Age Concern and Help the Aged. This site will remain online until the research section of our new Age UK website is ready to go live.

You may have arrived here, following a link from the new Age UK website. Alternatively, if you follow links on this site which formerly pointed to www.helptheaged.org.uk, you will be automatically redirected to www.ageuk.org.uk; similarly, Help the Aged email addresses listed on this site will be automatically redirected to their Age UK successors.

We hope all the information you need is here on this website. If you have any issues or concerns, please email them to contact@ageuk.org.uk.

Best wishes,

Age UK Digital Team.

Research is central to our vision of transforming later life. Through RiA, we fund some of the best biomedical research that aims to improve the health and quality of life of older people.
 
We are the only medical charity in the UK to support the full spectrum of older age-related health problems and diseases. We also aim to build capacity in biomedical ageing research in the UK.
 

We award grants for biomedical research projects and for research capacity building (including PhD Studentships and Research Fellowships).

We usually award grants once a year. The closing date for applications for 2010 grants has passed. Please visit this site again for future information on our next grant round.
