These Awards support world-class researchers who are no more than five years from appointment to their first academic position but can already show that they have the ability to innovate and drive advances in their field of study. The Awards provide flexible support at a level and length that is sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to engage with the social and ethical aspects of biomedical research and health interventions with the aim of informing potential solutions to the most important challenges to their effectiveness.
Researchers should be able to articulate a compelling long-term vision for their research and demonstrate the talent, track record and originality to achieve it.
New Investigator Awards provide flexible support at a level and length that is sufficient to enable exceptional researchers to address the most important questions about health and disease and their social, political and historical contexts.
With the publication of our Strategic Plan 2010-20, we set out a new vision statement. In addition, we identified exploring medicine in its historical, cultural and social context as a key focus area and set out five major challenge areas to help meet our vision. The research should demonstrate how it relates to our focus areas and how – directly or indirectly – it enables the Wellcome Trust to achieve its broad strategic vision.
