Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council: David Phillips Fellowships
David Phillips Fellowships provide support to outstanding scientists who are in the initial stages of their career and who are seeking to establish their first independent research group. The fellowships invest in scientists who have shown high potential, can demonstrate that they are on an upward trajectory with clear evidence of strong scientific outputs and leadership qualities, and are aiming to establish their own fully independent programme of research. Through the fellowships, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council will be seeking to identify scientists who can be expected to be among the future leaders of their generation.
