Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships Scheme: Funding

Salary of Replacement lecturer

The Fellowship covers the gross salary costs of a replacement academic (preferably in the early stages of their career) to undertake the teaching and administrative responsibilities of the researcher for the duration of the Fellowship. The basic salary of the replacement academic will be payable at the starting salary of the lecturer pay scale at the host institution.

Overall salary costs will include employer’s National Insurance and superannuation contributions. The costs submitted in the application should be those that will apply when the Fellowship commences. Note: these Fellowships are not calculated on the basis of Full Economic Costs (fEC).

Support fund

A sum of up to £2,500 (‘Support Fund’) may also be made available to the researcher to cover miscellaneous costs, for example, attendance at conferences and minor research expenses. The ‘Support Fund’ must not be used to meet any university overheads or indirect or unspecified costs.

A full account of the use of the fund will be required at the end the Fellowship.
