Wellcome Trust: New Investigator Awards

New Investigator Awards

New Investigator Awards support world-class researchers who are no more than five years from appointment to their first academic position, but who can already show that they have the ability to innovate and drive advances in their field of study. They should be able to articulate a compelling long-term vision for their research and demonstrate the talent, track record and originality to achieve it.

New Investigator Awards provide support that is flexible and at a level and length sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to address the most important questions about health and disease.

·         New Investigator Awards provide a flexible package of funding and may be for up to seven years
·       A New Investigator Award might be in the range of £100k to £425k per year. Please note that awards may not necessarily be made at the upper end of this range, and we expect costs to be suited to and justified by the proposed research.

Next full application closing date: 2 March 2012
