2023 Lister Institute Research Prize

If you are a promising early career researcher undertaking high quality innovative research that will lead to greater understanding in – or have implications for – the field of preventive medicine, please apply prior to the closing date.

This Fellowship gives scientists the opportunity to develop their potential with £250,000 of flexible funding over a five-year period. To date, the Fellowship has been able to support some excellent early career researchers – awarding the Prize to six new Fellows in 2021 and eight in 2022.

The aim is to award at least six prizes, based on:

• the originality and quality of the proposed research
• the achievements of the applicant in the context of their own circumstances
• the transformational impact that the Prize would have on the recipient’s career, considering their research environment and other funding.

Other than the provision or augmentation of personal salary, the Prize fund may be used in any appropriate way to support the applicant’s research, including expenditure on equipment, travel, consumables or the salaries of post-doctoral workers, technicians, PhD students, or for a replacement lecturer.
