    Brief

    This fellowship scheme supports talented PhD holders in establishing their own independent research program and building a research team. Funding covers salary and project costs at 80% of full economic cost for up to five years. Research must fall within the Medical Research Council (MRC) remit, focusing on advancing human health. Eligible researchers should have a PhD and demonstrate potential to lead independent research. This is ideal for early-career researchers transitioning from postdoctoral positions to independent research leadership. Applicants will need to outline their research vision, team development plans, and how their work aligns with MRC priorities in health-related research.
