Investigator Awards in Medical Humanities

Investigator 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 (i.e. those who have permanent, open-ended or long-term rolling contracts of employment salaried by their university or research institution).

With respect to Medical Humanities, we wish to encourage bold and intellectually rigorous research applications that address the important questions at the interface of science, medicine and the wider humanities (including the social sciences and the arts). We expect that the funded research will further develop our understanding of the impact of medicine and medical sciences on human and animal health.
