SUMMARY:The Brain Tumour Charity - Future Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Funding\nThe scheme runs in three parts (Postdoctoral fellowship\, Junior Fellowship and Senior Fellowship)\, with only those entering the scheme as postdoctoral researchers eligible for the latter grants. Evidence must be provided that the named researcher is of the highest calibre and has the potential to be a future leader of the field. It is envisaged that the Senior Fellowship will be based in the UK and\, as such\, only applicants open to move to the UK should apply. \nThe initial stage of this scheme is to support a named Postdoctoral Fellow over a period of three years. The funding limit is £180\,000over this period and the application must address one of the areas identified in ‘A Cure Can’t Wait‘. \nAt the end of the first stage\, successful applicants will be invited to submit a further application for a Junior Fellowship\, available for four years of funding. The amount awarded for this period will total up to £480\,000 to support themselves and a research associate in a host laboratory. The programme of work should continue to develop the themes that they have been working on as a Postdoctoral Fellow. However\, it is expected that the researcher will begin to develop their own group and independent research. \nFinally\, upon successful application\, a Senior Fellowship will be awarded with up to £1\,000\,000 for five years to support the applicant and a small group. Again\, the research should be carried out in a host laboratory that will enable the further development of the applicant to become a fully independent group leader. This senior post must be at a UK university or institute. \nAll rounds will be competitively assessed with interview panels being convened for all fellowships\, either in person or via video conferencing. Applicants will be encouraged to find different host institutions\, and thus different mentors\, throughout the process to ensure a diverse exposure to techniques and concepts. \nSuccessful applicants will be expected to engage with The Charity to build a network of researchers and promote this scheme and the aims of The Charity. \nApplication process\nApplications will open on 8 June 2017 and will undergo a two stage approach: \nLetter of intent will be requested until 5 p.m. (London time) on 28 July 2017. This MUST be submitted by the Mentor. \nSuccessful applicants will then be requested to submit a full proposal until 5 p.m. on 20 October 2017. This MUST be submitted by the aspiring Fellow. \nApplications must be submitted online through our new portal: Proposal Central. Please do take the time to get familiar with the site\, set up an account and start filling in your profile. \nIn order to find our calls for applications visit this quick access link: letter of intent application form \nThe Brain Tumour Charity is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and adheres to its principles of peer review.
