Webinar: Involving people with a lived experience of dementia in your research 

The Dementia Australia Research Foundation hosted an engaging webinar designed to equip researchers with knowledge and practical tips about involving people with a lived experience of dementia in their research. It also provided advice on writing an effective plain English research summary.

The webinar provides insights from lived experience experts, science writers and members of the Dementia Australia Research Foundation Scientific Panel. Information in this session will benefit researchers in both the writing of their application and the execution of their research.

If you missed the webinar and are looking to prepare a grant application in 2024, the recording is available here. For additional tips on preparing your application, you can also view the grant information session hosted by the Sydney Dementia Network, The University Sydney, here.
