    Brief

    This is a three-year research fellowship scheme funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) designed to support early-career researchers in establishing independent research programmes within an existing host laboratory. The scheme provides 80% funding of full economic cost, enabling researchers to develop their own research focus while benefiting from institutional support. Approximately 15 grants will be awarded from a total budget of £9,000,000. This opportunity is ideal for talented researchers ready to lead their own research but who benefit from working within an established research environment. Eligible researchers should demonstrate strong potential for independent research and have appropriate host laboratory support.
