Significant investment by UK government will support Stem researchers with up to £8 million over six years
A new fellowship for mid-career researchers is being launched by the Royal Society, funded by a £250 million endowment from the UK government.
The Royal Society Faraday Discovery Fellowships, which will launch in 2024, will support researchers and scientists for up to 10 years to pursue research across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The Royal Society anticipates that at least 30 awards, with a value of up to £8 million each, will be given over a period of at least six years to support individual researchers and their teams. The fellowships will be open to applicants from around the world who want to pursue their research in the UK.
