Wellcome Early Career Awards
Content
There are 3 calls per year for this scheme with Wellcome deadlines generally in February, May and October.
The next Wellcome Trust deadline for which you can apply to this scheme for a School of Social and Political Science hosted award is on Tuesday, 1 October 2024.
However, there is a staged School internal review process beforehand, and interested applicants are required to send (1) a 2-page CV, (2) 1-2 page project proposal which addresses the criteria of the scheme, and (3) a 1-page summary mentor statement for SSPS review by Monday, 15 July 2024.
It is essential that you have secured agreement from a permanent member of academic staff in School of Social and Political Science before you submit the above documents. Head of Subject area approval will also be required and your mentor can facilitate this process. Documents should be sent to ssps.research@ed.ac.uk and early feedback will be given on the strength of the proposal to allow progress to the next stage which will involve a draft submission.

If you are interested in applying and plan to submit for the School review on 15 July 2024, we encourage you to contact the SPS RO at ssps.research@ed.ac.uk so that we are aware in advance of your interest.
