New academics
We want to give new academics as much help as we can, and have several schemes to help them get started with their research careers.
New Investigator Award
The New Investigator Award scheme is to support individuals who hold an academic lectureship position, have not previously led an academic research group or been the recipient of a significant grant (usually defined as those which included PDRA time, capital equipment or were in excess of £100,000 (FEC)).
