CFAS Wales is funded by the ESRC and is a longitudinal epidemiological study of older people drawn from primary care lists, investigating factors which support well-being in later life and risk factors for the development of cognitive impairment.
iCST is a multi-centred randomised controlled trial, led by UCL, on the effectiveness of training and supporting family care-givers in using cognitive stimulation with people with mild to moderate dementia. It is funded by the NIHR HTA programme.
