Returning Researcher Grant (Up to £2,500)

This bursary provides up to £2,500 in funding support for researchers who are returning to academic research careers after a break of two or more years. The grant is designed to help eligible researchers develop and strengthen competitive proposals for STFC fellowship schemes. Funded activities include conducting literature reviews to update knowledge in your field, familiarizing yourself with new equipment and technologies, attending relevant conferences or networking meetings, and covering costs associated with fellowship application preparation. This is an ideal opportunity for researchers seeking to re-establish their careers in science and technology research with practical financial support during the transition period.
