Wellcome Trust: Senior Investigator Awards

Senior Investigator Awards

Senior Investigator Awards support exceptional, world-class researchers, who hold an established academic position and have a compelling long-term vision for their research. We will support researchers who have an international track-record of significant achievement, who have demonstrated the originality and impact of their research, and who are leading their field.

Senior 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.

·         Senior Investigator Awards provide a flexible package of funding and may be for up to seven years.
·         A Senior 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
