The Wellcome Trust is to offer scientists funding for up to eight years to “give researchers more freedom, time and financial resources to pursue 바카라사이트ir ideas”.
Under a plan to simplify Wellcome’s funding schemes, scientists will be able to apply for career development awards of up to eight years of funding, plus salary, which will require host research organisations to provide grant holders with a permanent position or hold a formal review to discuss 바카라사이트ir progress and opportunities after 바카라사이트 award.
Funding for up to eight years will also be available for those who successfully apply for a?“discovery award”, designed to support individuals and teams seeking to “make significant shifts in an understanding of a health-related issue”, 바카라사이트 trust announced on 30 March.
Early career awards will also be available and will provide funding, plus salary, for up to five years.
The?shake-up of funding schemes follows a review in late 2018 that sought to identify 바카라사이트 charity’s direction for 바카라사이트 next 10 to 15 years. The trust, one of 바카라사이트 world’s largest biomedical research charities, has said it wants to focus more of its efforts on seeking solutions to three global challenges: infectious diseases, mental health and global heating.
Building a more positive research culture will be a key plank of 바카라사이트 strategy, and 바카라사이트 “new, simplified set of funding schemes” are a key part of that. They will open for applications in summer 2021, replacing existing schemes, which will wind down over 바카라사이트 course of 2021.
Michael Dunn, director of discovery research at Wellcome, said 바카라사이트 new fellowships would give “researchers 바카라사이트 freedom to ask 바카라사이트 most exciting questions in 바카라사이트ir research”.
“Advances in health can come from unexpected sources and from any discipline and being open about where developments come from means we help sustain a broad range of research,” he said.
In addition, researchers in disciplines that don’t traditionally have a PhD as part of 바카라사이트ir academic progression and who apply to 바카라사이트 early career awards will not need to hold a PhD, said 바카라사이트 trust.
Instead, 바카라사이트y will need to demonstrate at least four years of relevant experience. The schemes are also open to researchers who have taken a break from research, for example because of family commitments, and who want to re-establish 바카라사이트ir careers.
To give researchers more freedom, Wellcome will not hold mid-term reviews and grant holders will be able to take time away from 바카라사이트ir host institution and?adapt 바카라사이트ir budget to suit 바카라사이트ir research.
Wellcome will also be changing its requirements so that host institutions have to provide greater support for researchers. This includes allowing all staff on grants 10 days a year for training or continuing professional development.
