Objectiu de la convocatòria
This step-changing funding programme will fund the future leaders of scientific and clinical research into brain tumours.

Característiques principals
The funding programme runs in three parts (Postdoctoral Fellowship, Junior Fellowship and Senior Fellowship), with only those entering the programme as postdoctoral fellows eligible for the subsequent grants.
Up to six postdoctoral fellowships will be awarded, for an investment of up to £75,000 each per year for three years.
After three years these postdoctoral fellows will be invited to submit an application for a four year Junior Fellowship, totaling up to £480,000, to support themselves and a research associate in a host laboratory.
In the third stage of funding, the Junior Fellow cohort will be invited to apply for a five year Senior Fellowship, totaling up to £1million, to support the applicant and a small research group.

Requisits
All grant applications must focus on at least one of the research priorities highlighted in our Research Strategy.
The named postdoctoral fellow must, at the date of the call deadline, be in possession of a doctoral degree.
Clinicians moving into full time laboratory based research are welcome to apply, providing they also have a PhD.
Clinicians wishing to spend part of their time on laboratory based research and complete the fellowship alongside their clinical duties will also be considered on a case by case basis. A minimum of 50% FTE must be spent on the fellowship.
The named postdoctoral fellow’s previous research need not be in the brain tumour field, but they must be able to demonstrate how they will apply their prior learning to the study of brain tumours.
The Mentor must hold an employment contract beyond the period of the grant.
The Host Institution should provide additional transferable skills training to the fellow, such as planning and writing of publications, project management, supervision of junior lab members and presentations in conferences and to the general public.
This scheme is initially open to international researchers.
