The new investigator award is for people who hold an academic lectureship position at UK higher education institutions, research council institutes, UKRI-approved independent research organisations and NHS bodies, and have not previously led an academic research group or been the recipient of a significant grant.
Projects should be self-contained and have a single research vision with clearly defined objectives and outcomes.Your project should typically last one to three years. Complex, multi-faceted research projects with many objectives are not appropriate for this scheme.
We will award 80% of the full economic costs of the project, and your organisation must agree to find the balance.
