Requesting a change to your fellowship award

If you’ve been awarded a fellowship, there may be circumstances where you want to:

  • pause the fellowship when taking a career break or other form of leave
  • transfer the fellowship to another research organisation
  • extend the fellowship due to unforeseen circumstances
  • have the salaries covered by the fellowship supplemented or amended based on leave taken.

The guidance and process for requesting a change will depend on which research council awarded the fellowship.
