鈥evelop, retain, attract and sustain research and innovation talent in the UK;
鈥oster new research and innovation career paths including those at the academic or business and interdisciplinary boundaries, and facilitate movement of people between sectors;
鈥rovide sustained funding and resources for the best early career researchers and innovators;
鈥rovide long-term, flexible funding to tackle difficult and novel challenges, and support adventurous, ambitious programmes.
Applicants are expected to hold a doctorate by the start date of the fellowship or to be able to demonstrate equivalent research experience or training. Senior academics are ineligible to apply. Applicants may be based in universities, UK-registered businesses, or other research and user environments including research councils' institutes and laboratories. There are no nationality restrictions.
Fellowships are tenable for up to seven years with a compulsory review in year four. Applications exceeding 拢1.2 million over the first four years must contact UKRI office staff prior to submission.
