Turing AI pioneer interdisciplinary fellowships

This funding opportunity aims to support the delivery of the UK Government AI Opportunities Action Plan by investing in up to 12 Turing AI pioneer interdisciplinary fellowships. The fellowships are designed for established researchers from across UKRI's remit, without a background in core artificial intelligence (AI) research, who want to build domain relevant AI capability and develop advanced AI approaches to tackle a specific research challenge in their chosen field. Fellows will develop domain relevant AI capability, using it to advance progress against a challenge-driven research problem in their home domain. The funding opportunity will form part of a suite of investments supporting the government's AI Opportunities Action Plan ambitions. Fellows are expected to undertake professional development and upskilling activities in technical AI, demonstrate how their enhanced AI capability will be applied to drive transformative change within their discipline, and collaborate with an established AI specialist throughout the life of the fellowship. This is an invite-only opportunity for applicants who have successfully completed the outline application stage.
