FUNDING - BBSRC David Phillips Fellowships

The BBSRC David Phillips Fellowship (DPF) will provide support for researchers wishing to establish their first independent research group. The DPF will invest in scientists who have shown high potential, can demonstrate that they are on an upward trajectory with clear evidence of strong scientific outputs and leadership qualities, and are aiming to establish their own fully independent programme of research. As such the DPF represents part of our commitment to the supply of highly skilled professional research leaders to the UK.

Awards are for five years, and include personal salary and a significant research support grant to enable fellows to establish their own independent research group. It is expected that up to five fellowships will be awarded, each at a value of up to £1M (80% fEC). 

Proposals can be submitted in any area of science within the BBSRC's remit. They particularly encourage applications that are aligned with our overarching strategic priorities (see related links including our strategic priorities).

For more information, and to apply, please click here. Deadline 4pm on 9th May 2018.
