The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) is inviting applications for funding to support excellent new investigator-led research across the breadth of its scientific remit.
This scheme is designed primarily to assist newly employed university lecturers, researchers (at a level equivalent to lecturer) in research council institutes, and fellows (at a level equivalent to lecturer) to secure their first major element of research support funding.
Funding is available for up to five years. The full economic cost (FEC) of a project can be up to £2 million. BBSRC will fund 80% of FEC.
Applicants must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for BBSRC funding. For further information and to apply see HERE.
