Small Athena SWAN Grants to support staff returning from a career break
We have a small fund to help support those returning to work from a career break in a flexible way – this could be used to cover costs for e.g. travel to/registration for a conference, travel arrangements for meeting with collaborators, childcare costs to attend a conference or other research-related activity, small consumables for pilot study etc. Awards are likely to be in the region of £100-500, though requests for larger amounts (up to £1000) will be considered if funding permits.
Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship
This scheme is for outstanding scientists in the UK at an early stage of their research career who require a flexible working pattern due to personal circumstances such as parenting or caring responsibilities or health issues. Female candidates are particularly invited to apply.
