The 2025 Lister Institute Research Prizes are now open!
We are pleased to announce that the 2025 Lister Institute Research Prizes are now open.
Are you 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, by midnight on Monday 23 September 2024.
Our Fellowship gives scientists the opportunity to develop their potential with £300,000 of flexible funding over a five-year period. To date, we have been able to support some excellent early career researchers – awarding the Prize to six new fellows in 2023 and a further six in 2024.
We aim 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.
As well as receiving the flexible award the Lister Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to join the Lister community. This community is made up of a network of successful researchers across many scientific disciplines at different stages of their career. We gather annually at the fellows meeting and the Institute also runs an informal mentorship programme.
Please refer to our website for an overview of the Prizes and how to apply, FAQs, and a summary of eligibility and the Terms and Conditions.
