Varley Gradwell Travelling Fellowship 2026

The Varley-Gradwell Travelling Fellowship in Insect Ecology provides support for fieldwork, travel and other activity in the field of insect ecology. Fellowships of up to £2,500 are awarded based on the practicality and potential of applications to make a contribution to insect ecology. Preference is given to those in their early post-doctoral years, though strong applications from post-graduate level students have been successful in the past. The fellowship is not available for undergraduate research support. The fellowships are tenable for one year commencing on a date to be agreed and are not renewable. Applications are judged on their scientific merit and practical feasibility.
