« View all News items
The Lister Institute is pleased to announce that the 2022 Lister Institute Research Prizes are now open!
This will be the 19th year of the Prize Fellowship scheme and, to date, the institute has been able to support some excellent researchers – see profile sheet for the 2020 and 2021 winners.
The Lister Institute’s competitive research prizes give scientists the opportunity to develop their potential through flexible funding over a five-year period. Prizes are awarded to the most promising early-career researchers undertaking high-quality innovative research in any area of biomedical science that will lead to advances in preventive medicine.
The Lister Institute’s research prizes are awarded as lump sums of £250,000 which should be spent within a five-year period. The money must be used in support of the applicants’ research but can be used for equipment, travel, consumables, or the salaries of post-doctoral workers, technicians or PhD students, etc. Personal salary provision or augmentation is not allowed, but the funds can be used for a replacement lecturers’ salary. This might make the award very attractive to a newly appointed lecturer with research funding from another agency.
