UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships: round 8

Details of the internal fellowship application process

Please be aware that this call it's being demand managed by ERO. We will post more information here as arrangements are communicated to us. 

UKRI have imposed caps on all Universities for this round. The University of Edinburgh can only support a limited number of applications. Only applicants with the backing of a host School will be eligible for the College's internal process. 

  1. Schools will undertake a demand management process to select their allowed number of applicants to nominate to a College panel.
  2. The College panel will then select some applications from across the College to be put forward for comparison with selections from the other two Colleges.
  3. The University panel will select their applicants from across the whole University who will receive support to complete a full application.
