Research Leadership Awards

The aim of these awards is to support those who have succeeded in beginning a university career but who are then confronted with the task of building a research team adequately able to tackle an identified but distinctive research problem. The awards provide support for research assistants and research students led by the award holder. Applicants will have held a university post for at least two years. Each institution is limited to one bid only.

Once a university has selected their chosen candidate, they should provide the Trust with the applicant’s name, departmental affiliation and email address. Access will then be granted to the Trust’s online Grant Application System.

Value and Duration

The awards will be for a sum of between £800,000 and £1 million, over a period of up to five years.

Topics

Applications for research in any subject area within the Trust’s normal remit will be eligible for support.
