UKRI announces changes to simplify and improve efficiency of fellowships

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is launching a fellowship investment framework to simplify and align fellowship schemes and improve efficiency for all parties involved.

According to an announcement published on 14 October, the new framework, which has been moulded by feedback from the research and innovation community, aims to make fellowship funding easier for applicants to understand and award holders to manage. This should make it easier to respond to emerging opportunities and widen fellowship support, reduce bureaucracy and increase the efficiency of applying and receiving funding.
