The document outlines the stages and funding of the Dementias Platform UK project. It establishes cohort(s) in stage 1 with £6M funding and establishes an imaging platform in stage 2 with another £6M. An additional £36M in capital funding will go toward imaging, stem cells, and informatics. It lists the director as John Gallacher from Oxford and describes the 14 work packages and informatics network leads. The informatics network lead is Simon Lovestone and lists various informatics sub-networks and their leads. It provides a conceptual model for the imaging informatics component with a central XNAT hub and nodes at various research centers.
