About UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)

Established on 1 April 2018 by the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, UKRI brought nine organisations into one unified body.

The funding enables you to further your career through an independent research fellowship. Through an independent research fellowship (IRF), they will invest in researchers seeking to conduct their own environmental research within an eligible host organisation.

You should demonstrate convincing evidence of working towards this goal and a high potential to become an independent research leader of the future. You must demonstrate that, if awarded an IRF, you will be working independently of senior colleagues with whom you might have previously collaborated or with whom you might currently be working in a supporting role. Assessors must be convinced that you have devised your own research questions. The duration of this award is five years. Projects must start by January 1, 2025.

• Holders of postdoctoral training fellowships such as the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions can apply. Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellows and Daphne Jackson Trust Fellows who meet all eligibility requirements may also apply.
• If you have been included on applications as a project co-lead, then you are eligible to apply provided you still meet all eligibility criteria. Your application must be different from applications you have been included on.
• You may be employed at a lecturer level that is clearly a ‘teaching only’ post.

You should not apply if you hold, or have ever held:

• A position at lecturer level (or the equivalent in an institution other than a university) that includes setting up a group and conducting your own research.
• An equivalent competitive fellowship that allows you to establish an independent research group, and therefore independent researcher status.
• A tenured academic post.
