Mid- to late-stage (senior) postdoctoral researchers and mentored clinician-scientists training in Massachusetts by 1 October 2027; basic/preclinical or clinical/implementation research on the causes and treatment of human disease.

Individual researchers whose first doctoral degree certificate is dated between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2024; earlier degrees are considered only for special reasons (pregnancy or parental leave, childcare leave for a child under 3, military or non-military service, or long-term illness) that caused a long-term career break. Applicants must not hold a permanent senior research position (career stages 3 or 4, such as professor, assistant/associate professor or research director); fixed-term tenure-track staff may apply. The site of research in Finland must commit to the application within 14 days of the call's closing date. Current four-year Academy Research Fellows may apply only in the last year of their post. In the winter call only one application per applicant is considered across Academy Project funding and Academy Research Fellowships.

PhD completed no more than three years, or equivalent full-time years, before the deadline. Research must have been mainly undertaken in Tasmania or under a Tasmanian organisation. Anyone may nominate another person; self-nominations are excluded.

Applicants to the TTP-T and TTP-P tracks must follow the current NSF 25-540 organizational and submission requirements.

An Austrian research institution applies for a researcher whose ERC Starting Grant 2026 proposal with that institution received an A rating but was not funded for budgetary reasons. Permanent professors or equivalent leaders, accepted permanent-professorship appointees, and former FWF START, ASTRA or ERC Starting Grant recipients are ineligible. ASTRA application rules also apply.

This call is for organisations, not individual students. Doctoral recruits must meet the programme’s degree and mobility rules.

Swedish citizens or permanent residents who received a doctorate within the past six years, or doctoral students expecting the degree within two years, may apply through this route. A host researcher at an eligible Japanese university or research institution is required. All academic fields are eligible.

Postdoctoral applicants normally within four years of the doctorate; experienced researchers within twelve years, with an independent publication record and a leadership role. German host agreement, facilities confirmation and assessment required. Prior Humboldt sponsorship excludes this route. Apply under the joint CAPES-Humboldt procedure.

Normally 0–12 months of study by December 31; specific transition rules apply. First-class grades normally required, with institutional discretion. Prior agency master’s awards and specified Indigenous master’s awards exclude eligibility; only one CRTAS application per academic year.

University partnerships require eligible Canadian academics, non-academic partners and qualifying NSERC partnership-grant support in natural sciences or engineering. College partnerships require an eligible Canadian college, non-academic partners and implementation of results from a previous College and Community Innovation grant; broader research disciplines qualify. Self-nominations are excluded. A college research grants officer cannot nominate; previous Herzberg laureates are ineligible.

The project lead must be at a UKRI-eligible UK research organisation. Team applications are required. Eligible international, business and third-sector organisations may join as co-leads subject to the call rules.

Individuals or organisations with sustained contributions to consumer and community involvement in health and medical research. Nominees should be advocates and role models whose work improves community interactions with research. The nomination form requires responses against the award criteria and two supporting references.

International students commencing or enrolled in a higher degree by research may apply. New applicants must submit a complete admission application and a separate scholarship application by the deadline; enrolled applicants submit the scholarship form.

Researchers of any nationality with 5–15 years since their certified successful PhD defence, subject to the 2027 call reference date and permitted extensions. A committed host in an eligible EU Member State or associated country must support an independent research team.

A UK organisation eligible for MRC funding must lead. International researchers may participate as international co-leads under MRC rules. Businesses and most charities participate as partners rather than leads.

Registered healthcare professionals pursuing clinical academic research training must meet MRC training-stage criteria, have an appropriate supervisor and an eligible UK host. Any nationality is eligible subject to UK professional registration and clinical-practice requirements.

UC PhD or master's students in any discipline conducting field research at a UC Nature reserve, with reserve director approval and required permits; past recipients must have filed final reports.
