BBSRC Discovery Fellowships 2023

  Thursday, 25 May 2023 | Funding Deadline

Discovery Fellowships invest in researchers who are seeking to conduct their own independent research within a host laboratory. You must provide strong evidence of working towards this goal, demonstrating an upward trajectory to pursuing independent work within a host organisation. You must show high potential to become future research leaders. This scheme supports excellent investigator-led research across the breadth of BBSRC’s scientific remit.

You can apply to undertake biotechnology or biological research in:

  • plants
  • microbes
  • animals and humans
  • tools and technology underpinning biological research

Investigations within and across scales are supported, from molecules and cells, to tissues, whole organisms, populations, and landscapes. BBSRC welcome multidisciplinary applications that cross into other research council areas but expect the primary focus of your work to fall within BBSRC’s remit.

Deadline for proposals: 25 May 2023
