Nutrition New Lecturer Grant 2022

Rank Prize New Lecturer Grant 2022
Up to £25,000 is available to fund the direct costs of research.

This annual research grant is offered in the areas of human nutrition, animal nutrition (as distinct from animal husbandry), and crop science to help postdoctoral scientists establish their careers as independent investigators.

The grant is available to newly appointed lecturers, researchers or fellows with their own independent support who are within the first two years of their appointment, typically 3-9 years from their PhD, although allowances will be made for career breaks.

Rank Prize will also consider applications from clinicians in an academic clinical post or supported by an appropriate fellowship.

The grant cannot be used to fund indirect or overhead costs, or to fund the salary of the grant-holder.

The deadline for applications is 23:59 Monday 19 September 2022. Please note incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed by members of Rank Prize's Nutrition Committee on the morning of Thursday 17 November 2022. These interviews will be held in person in London, so applicants must be available to attend on this date.

Please read the full terms and conditions before submitting an application.

If you have any questions or require assistance with your application please contact enquiries@rankprize.org
