The Fellowships provide: business training to help development of a business plan, a year’s salary hosted at the fellow’s university or research institute, access to mentors, business experts and professional advisors.

Academic and research staff and postgraduates with relevant experience are eligible to apply if employed by a: UK Higher Education Institution (HEI), or Institutes of BBSRC. We will provide a salary within the scales for research staff in HEIs, grades 22-37 (between £23,577 -£35,663). In exceptional cases, we will consider higher salaries where it is fully justified and the host institution demonstrates a commitment to the fellowship.
