UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships: Round 9

Details of the internal fellowship application process

Please be aware that this call it's being demand managed by ERO

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.

For information on the wider demand management process visit the Edinburgh Research Office SharePoint site:

Note 1: This step is optional, but helps us prepare better support by gauging interest from applicants.

Note 2: Applicants should submit by email to GeoSciences Research Support the following documents: 

  1.  Proposal Application template
  2. CV (FLF format) CV template 

Note 3: By this date, the School will evaluate the applications and will decide which of them will be progressing to the College competition stage.

 

IMPORTANT: Prospective applicants should consult the School Research Office and their Research Funding Specialist throughout the application process.

 

Please note: Candidates cannot have any other UKRI Fellowship application under consideration at the time of submission to this scheme, unless expressly permitted in the other Fellowship call documentation. NERC will not announce their IRF call details until later in the year, but in previous years NERC has not made this exception and thus FLF applicants were barred from also applying for NERC IRFs.
