Description

The Researchers at Risk Fellowships Programme is being delivered by the British Academy on behalf of UK National Academies and in partnership with the Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara). The Fellowships will support researchers at risk to continue their research in the UK for up to two years. The programme is receiving £3 million of funding from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), plus £8.88m from transition funding as the Global Challenges Research Fund closes and the new BEIS fund starts. The Nuffield Foundation, an independent charitable trust, is contributing £0.5 million towards the scheme.

Objectives

The first priority of the Programme will be as a response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has exposed Ukraine-based researchers and their dependents to direct threat. The Programme aims to complement the work already being done by UK institutions, including through their existing cooperation with Cara as members of Cara Universities Network, offering fellowship awards of up to two years to researchers at risk with funding of circa £37,000 per year.
