The Springboard Award will fund up to £125,000 over the course of 2 years towards research costs for established non-clinical academics who have not yet obtained significant amounts of external funding.
In addition, awardees will have access to the Academy of Medical Sciences' mentoring and professional development programmes in order to enhance their standing as an independent investigator.
Applicants should be within 5 years of their appointment to their first salaried position and have sufficient time remaining in post to complete the proposed Springboard project. Up to 2 awards will be made for each funding round (1 round per year).
Further details on how to apply can be found on the Academy of Medical Sciences website.
