- Each institution is limited to one bid only.
- Awards are each for a sum of between £800,000 and £1million over a period of between 4-5 years.
- Awards are for the provision of research assistants, research students and associated costs.
- Applicants will have held a university post for at least two years but will not yet have developed their academic career such that the trajectory of their research contribution has become firmly established.
