The Lister Institute Research Prize gives scientists the opportunity to develop their potential with £300,000 of flexible funding over a five-year period. To date, it has supported some excellent early career researchers - the prize was awarded to six new fellows in 2023 and a further six in 2024.
The institute 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.
