Benefits

Fellowships are tenable for five years in the first instance, with the potential to apply for competitive renewal for an additional three years.

Fellowships may be taken up on a part-time employment basis, where appropriate.

Unless stated otherwise, the following costs may be requested:

  • A basic salary for the Fellow, as determined by the host organisation; an additional Wellcome Trust enhancement of £7,500 per annum will also be provided.
  • Research expenses, including research assistance if required (normally a graduate research assistant or technician; requests for additional research staff may be considered where fieldwork or clinical studies in a low- or middle-income country are proposed)
  • Travel and subsistence for collaborative travel or scientifically justified overseas visits of normally up to one year
  • Overseas allowances, where appropriate, for applicants working in low- or middle-income countries for 12 months or more

In addition the funders will provide:

  • An inflation allowance
  • A Flexible Funding Allowance
  • A contribution towards indirect and estate costs funded by the Royal Society (currently set at £11,000 per annum per Fellowship).

These fellowships are highly flexible and part-time working, sabbaticals and secondments can be accommodated. There is also provision for maternity, paternity, adoptive or extended sick leave.

Eligibilities

  • Applicants are eligible to apply if they have a PhD and significant postdoctoral research experience.
  • The scheme is not open to individuals who wish to combine research with a continuing clinical career in medicine, psychology, dentistry or veterinary practice.
  • Individuals who have held or are currently completing a nationally competitive fellowship at the same level as this fellowship are not normally eligible to apply for this scheme.
  • If applicants currently applying for another Wellcome fellowship or a Royal Society University Research Fellowship they are not eligible to apply.
  • Applicants must have made intellectual contributions to research that have been published in leading journals, and be able to demonstrate their potential to carry out independent research.
  • If applicants hold an established post they are not eligible to apply for a fellowship to be held at their current employing organization. However, in exceptional cases, The Royal Society is willing to consider a preliminary application if applicants wish to move organisation and are able to make a strong scientific justification for the move.
Eligible Regions: Open for All

Application Process

  • Applications should be submitted through the Wellcome Trust Grant Tracker (WTGT). https://wtgrants.wellcome.ac.uk/
  • After applicants submit their preliminary application The Royal Society assesses their eligibility and give advice about their competitiveness and the resources they requested. The Royal Society then gives a decision within four weeks of the preliminary application deadline. If suitable, The Royal Society invites successful applicants to submit a full application.
  • A sample of the full application form for Sir Henry Dale Fellowships is available on The Royal Society’s official Website.

Application Deadline: April 2, 2019 (52 Days Remaining)
