The BBSRC New Investigator Scheme assists early-career researchers - newly employed university lecturers, fellows and researchers in BBSRC-sponsored institutes at band 5 or above - to secure their first major element of funding for research.

Applicants must not have received competitive research funding from any source, as a Principal Investigator, that included post-doctoral research assistant staff support costs. Our Committees assess applications against the same criteria as other responsive mode proposals; however, research potential rather than track record will be taken into account.
