Future Leaders Fellowships: round 11 (Fellowship)

Future Leaders Fellowships support ambitious researchers and innovators across all subjects. There is no limit on how much funding you can request. You must be looking to establish your own research group or become independent. The funding covers your salary, research costs, and equipment. You can apply if you work at a UK university or research organisation. Applications close on 16 June 2026. This is round 11 of the programme. The fellowship helps you build your career and conduct cutting-edge research.

This fellowship is for researchers and innovators who want to establish their own research group or become independent. You need to work at a UK university or research organisation. It is not for established professors who already lead large research teams.
