<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Round 10 of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships is at pre-announcement stage:
<u><span style="color:#467886"><a href="https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/future-leaders-fellowships-round-10/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery" id="OWA5f375488-c089-bc94-f0d6-94c9f11b309b"><span style="color:#467886">https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/future-leaders-fellowships-round-10/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery</span></a></span></u>. The
Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) are for early career researchers and innovators who are either looking to establish or transition to independence, or developing their own original and ambitious plans within a commercial setting.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Support is available across UKRI’s remit, and there is no minimum or maximum award value (previous awards to UoN based fellows have been for between Ł1.2-Ł1.5m). Awards are for up to four years,
with the option to apply to renew for a further three years. The support will enable each fellow to tackle ambitious and challenging research and innovation and develop their own careers.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Please note that this call is centrally managed as UKRI have capped the number of applications per institution. UoN is able to submit a total of 8 applications and therefore a sift process will
be put in place. This will be a highly competitive process and will require strong commitment from your host School/Department. We will select those going forward in this round through an expression of interest (EOI) document and a challenge panel session,
which we anticipate will be useful to all candidates in refining their project for this and other opportunities. More details will be provided towards the end of November, after the internal information session.</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Aptos"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
