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).
The video below provides an overview of the Investigator Awards scheme, delivered by Sir Mark Walport at an induction session of the Expert Review Groups in November 2010.
