Apply for funding to carry out independent research within a host laboratory and gain leadership skills.
You are not eligible to apply if you hold or have held any post or position at lecturer level (or equivalent). You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for BBSRC funding.
Successful applicants to the Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) scheme have the opportunity to extend their four-year fellowship by up to a further three years.
This funding opportunity is available to current FLF award holders only and should be a continuation of the original FLF fellowship.
These fellowships are for those looking to return to a research career after a break. Fellowships combine a personalised retraining programme with a challenging research project. They are flexible, usually lasting two years at 0.5 full-time equivalent, although some UKRI funders may award longer.
