Apply for an early independence fellowship to support your career transition within the new Fellowship investment framework if your research focus is within Medical Research Council (MRC) remit.
You must:
- be a registered healthcare professional
- have a PhD or equivalent
- show evidence of career consolidation and past productivity
- show clear plans for establishing your own research niche that enables a step-change towards independence
We will fund your salary and project costs (80% of the full economic cost) up to five years (pro-rata for part-time fellowships).
You may choose to apply for joint funding from one of the collaborating.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has launched the new fellowship investment framework. You are therefore advised to carefully read all the guidance we have provided, before submitting your application.
