The Academy of Medical Sciences is committed to attracting and retaining emerging talent from across the globe to the UK, and recognises the importance of capacity building at the early-leadership career stage.
This scheme seeks to progress that ambition by offering flexible support to researchers imminently taking up a full Professorship, or to those who have recently commenced such a position. Awards will be made in partnership with the employing Higher Education Institution (HEI).
