To help maintain the UK’s international standing as a desirable research destination that is open to talented individuals from all countries
Applications are encouraged from universities seeking to recruit excellent research leaders of any nationality, currently working outside the UK, in order to fill strategically important positions in this country. The Trust has allocated at least £100 million over five years to fund these grants. Grants are for a period of five years.
Each UK university is permitted to make only one bid per round.
