This scheme is for outstanding scientists who are in the early stages of their research career and have the potential to become leaders in their field. These long term fellowships provide the opportunity and freedom to build an independent research career in the UK or Republic of Ireland and pursue cutting-edge scientific research. The University Research Fellowship scheme is open to applications. The deadline for applications is 7 September 2023, at 3pm UK time. As part of the Royal Society’s wider changes to our costing policy, applicants are now permitted to apply for a maximum award value over eight years (Ā£1.83 million for the 2023-2024 round). Maximum caps for salary contribution and research costs have been removed and going forward there will be a total maximum grant value for applicants to work within.
