Following a consultation process, we are discontinuing future MRC-funded senior fellowships as part of our prioritisation of support for earlier career transitions. All ongoing awards or submitted applications being assessed will continue as planned.
Alongside the development of MRC’s new training and careers strategy, we are working with colleagues in UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to provide a clear and coherent fellowships offer.
This assumes on-going funding for the Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) which supports those looking to establish themselves as leaders in new fields or ways of working. FLF is open to, and has successfully supported, clinical and non-clinical applicants within MRC’s community who are establishing their leadership.
We are also working with other funders to create a UK national clinical research career pathway.
The discontinued fellowships are:
- Senior clinical Fellowship
- Senior non- clinical Fellowship
