Fellowships/Scholarships

Apply for funding to support your move to independent investigator in a medical research field.

Your research can focus on any area of MRC’s remit to improve human health.

You must:

• have a PhD or equivalent
• show evidence of career progression
• show clear plans for developing as a leader in your specialist area of research.

Your research plans must not overlap with those of your current group leader or proposed sponsor.

There’s no limit on the amount of funding you can apply for.

This fellowship scheme allows early-career researchers to carry out high-quality innovative research that moves significantly beyond doctoral projects, in any area covered by AHRC. It provides the opportunity to develop experience and capabilities as research specialists and to undertake innovative and collaborative development activities.

Summary:

This scheme is for early career researchers and innovators who are either:

• looking to establish or transition to independence
• developing their own original and ambitious plans within a commercial setting.

We are offering funding to support ambitious research or innovation programs across UKRI’s remit.

You must be based at, and have the support of, an eligible academic or non-academic institution.
