Research Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled researcher to lead a large team-based fundamental bioscience research project. The project should demonstrate the potential for major breakthroughs in our fundamental understanding of living systems, a fully integrated team science approach, and the need for longer and larger scale funding. The full economic cost of the project must be over £2 million, and BBSRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost.

Project Requirements
  • The project should have the potential for major breakthroughs in our fundamental understanding of living systems.
  • A fully integrated team science approach should be demonstrated.
  • The need for longer and larger scale funding should be evident.
  • The project should enhance the capability and capacity of UK biosciences.

Projects can be up to five years in duration, and full stage submissions are invitation only. The project lead must be designated as the main contact for BBSRC, and the intellectual leadership and overall management of the project may be shared with any number of project co-leads at any number of eligible research organisations.

Eligibility

This funding opportunity is open to teams of eligible researchers at higher education institutions, research council institutes, approved independent research organisations, and public sector research establishments. A single project lead must be designated as the project lead for administrative purposes, and the project co-leads may be shared with any number of eligible research organisations.

Application Process

Before applying for funding, check the eligibility criteria and ensure that the project meets the requirements. The application process will be supported by more consistent and robust policies and guidance. UKRI is updating the individual eligibility policy to make the application process more inclusive and consistent across research council funding opportunities.
