Early-Career Researcher

The Wellcome Early-Career Awards scheme provides research funding for early-career researchers from any discipline who are ready to develop their research identity. Through innovative projects, they will deliver shifts in understanding related to human life, health and wellbeing. By the end of the award, they will be ready to lead their own independent research programme.

Wellcome is a politically and financially independent global charitable foundation, funded by a £29 billion investment portfolio. Our mission is to improve health by helping great ideas to thrive.
