Early independence: career development fellowship
A fellowship for medical researchers taking a first step towards independence.
This fellowship supports talented researchers with a higher research degree to lead their own research plans, establish an independent research niche and begin building their own research team.
It is for individuals whose research focus is within MRC remit to improve human health, who can show career consolidation and productivity across past appointments, and who have support from an eligible UK…
In scope: research within MRC remit to improve human health, ranging from basic studies with relevance to mechanisms of disease to translational and developmental clinical research. MRC science areas include infections and immunity; molecular and cellular medicine; population and systems medicine; neurosciences and mental health; translation; global health; methodology; and public health. Global health research should align with MRC’s core remit spanning biomedical discovery research to early translational research. Normally, fellowships would not be a suitable route to establish longitudinal population studies. Until further notice, MRC will only accept applications for core infrastructure support for existing longitudinal population studies with previous MRC support.
