The Royal Society invites applications for its research grants. These provide seed-corn funding for newly independent researchers or principal investigators, and independent researchers or principal investigators returning from a career break, for research within the society鈥檚 remit of natural sciences. The aim is to enable them to develop new ideas and projects of timeliness and promise and position them for competitive larger awards from other funders. This scheme covers natural sciences, including biological research, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics, but excluding clinical medicine. Applicants must be a UK resident holding a PhD or equivalent position, be based at an eligible UK organisation and be within the first five consecutive years of their first permanent independent academic research post or a named limited-tenured or fixed-term academic research post obtained in open competition. They must be fully independent researchers with access to their own lab space and with the ability to recruit and to be registered as the primary supervisor of PhD students and research assistants. Independent researchers who have recently returned to academia within six months of applying, following a career break from research may also apply. Previous awardees may reapply two years after the submission of the final scientific report and finance statement. Underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply. Grants are worth up to 拢20,000 each over one year and may be used for specialised equipment, consumables, travel and subsistence costs, and summer students. |
