Assists early-career researchers to secure their first major element of research funding.
Eligibility
Newly employed university lecturers, lecturer level equivalent fellows whose awards were secured in open competition, and researchers in Research Council Institutes at the unified Research Council Band E or its equivalent.
Applicants must not have received competitive research funding from any source, as a Principal Investigator, that included post-doctoral research assistant staff support costs.
Our Committees assess applications against the same criteria as other responsive mode proposals; however, research potential rather than track record will be taken into account.
Information on eligibility is available in the BBSRC grants guide and eligibility enquires sections.
