The Race Against Dementia – Dementia Australia Research Foundation Post-doctoral Fellowship supports talented early career researchers in their pursuit of innovative solutions to the big questions in dementia research. The award aims to attract early-career researchers, who have completed their PhD within the last six years, to the field of dementia research. The Fellowship aims:
- To accelerate progress towards research breakthroughs through innovative and ambitious dementia research.
- To provide outstanding early career dementia researchers with a unique package of flexible funding and developmental opportunities to fast-track their progress towards becoming independent researchers.
- To facilitate diverse secondments that foster interdisciplinary and inter-institutional interactions on a global scale
Secondments to other institutions, in Australia or overseas, are encouraged and should be outlined in the application.

The fellowship provides a salary of 114,000 AUD/year for 5 years and includes a $125,000 project grant, to cover research expenses and costs associated with secondments.
