PI eligibility

Applications are now open for the INT Early Career Support scheme for University Lecturers in the physical sciences and technology. This scheme is for newly appointed lecturers (UTOs) who have been appointed between 1 October 2018 and 31 December 2021. It is designed to aid academics in beginning their research careers. To facilitate this, the funding can be used as flexibly as possible in giving applicants money for their research as best suits their needs. Applicants must demonstrate how this funding will lead to future applications for external funding.
