Unlocking Potential: Navigating Round 11 of the Future Leaders Fellowships

This hybrid event is designed for both aspiring applicants and the research support staff who play a crucial role in proposal and interview preparation.

As we anticipate the announcement of FLF Round 11, this event has been designed to help navigate the selection process. Don’t miss this chance to begin crafting your proposals for this distinguished fellowship program. Join us for insights from UKRI, the FLF Development Network and current Fellows, with an opportunity to connect during a networking lunch.

Our goal is to make the application process clear and approachable, particularly for those from smaller institutions or groups that have historically been underrepresented. With insights on the strategic goals of the fellowship, advice on negotiation between applicant and host, detailed explanations of the selection procedure, and firsthand stories from current fellows, we’re here to guide you through every step.

• Dr. Sara Shinton, Director, Future Leaders Fellows Development Network (Learn more:https://www.flfdevnet.com/)
