Investigator Awards

These awards build on our strategic goal of supporting the brightest researchers with the best ideas, and extend our successful fellowships funding model to researchers in established academic posts (that is those who have permanent, open-ended or long-term rolling contracts of employment salaried by their university or research institution).

New Investigator Awards Support world-class researchers who are no more than five years from appointment to their first academic position, but who can already show that they have the ability to innovate and drive advances in their field of study. The Awards provide support that is flexible and at a level and length sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to address the most important questions about health and disease.
Senior Investigator Awards Support exceptional, world-class researchers, who hold an established academic position and have a compelling long-term vision for their research. The Awards provide support that is flexible and at a level and length sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to address the most important questions about health and disease.
