Description
The Leverhulme Trust's Research Fellowships are designed to provide experienced researchers at UK universities with dedicated time and resources to complete a significant piece of original research. The scheme is particularly aimed at scholars whose research has been constrained by teaching or administrative duties in recent years. Fellowships are available in any discipline except applied or clinical medical research, with a strong emphasis on fundamental research. The program welcomes projects with both UK and international dimensions, and approximately 100 fellowships are awarded each year.
