Funding Opportunities

Springboard Awards

Springboard Awards provide small grants to support basic biomedical scientists as they develop their independent research careers. The scheme is a collaboration between the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Wellcome Trust. The awards are designed for early-career researchers within five years of being appointed to their first independent post (such as a lecturer position) who do not currently hold significant research funding. The funding can be used to cover research expenses, equipment, research assistance, and travel costs for meetings and collaborations. Successful applicants also receive mentoring and career support from the Academy of Medical Sciences. The program specifically supports researchers at eligible UK higher education institutions who have salary support from their current post. Practising clinicians are not eligible for this scheme but may apply for the Starter Grant for Clinical Lecturers instead. Personal salary costs cannot be covered by this award.
