Founded in 1925 by the co-founder of Lever Brothers (now Unilever),The Leverhulme Trust is a prestigious national grant-making organization in the UK. It is one of the biggest all-subject providers of research funding in the UK.
Host Country: the United Kingdom
Host Institute: The Leverhulme Trust
Name of the fellowship: Early Career Fellowships
Number of Awards: approximately 145
Benefits:
- In recognition of the prestige of these awards and to enable the Fellow's research, up to £6,000 a year will be available for research expenses. The following are examples, rather than an exclusive list, of possible research expenditure: conference attendance, conference organisation (in the UK only), travel and subsistence for research trips in the UK or overseas, research assistance, and laboratory consumables.
- For the UK and overseas subsistence (including accommodation) the Trust can contribute up to a maximum of £200 per day. For visits over 21 days, it is expected that the daily rate used will be lower than the maximum.
- Capital items (such as items of equipment and books) are eligible, up to a limit of £1,000 for each budget item but require explicit justification
