We welcome applications for Huo early-career fellowships, junior faculty research grants and special projects (as detailed further below). We are keen to support multi-disciplinary work. We want to help train the next generation of exceptional scientists in this rapidly evolving field. Applications should attempt to understand mechanisms, causal pathways and directions.

Typically, the researchers must be within four years of completing PhD and without their first permanent position. Fellows should have a sponsor, who has a permanent position at the host institution.
2. Junior faculty research grants – up to three years, up to £200k/$260k pa – to support focused research projects led by new lecturers/assistant professors, who typically took up their first permanent/tenure-track position within the last two years.

Special projects – up to four years, up to £300k/$390k pa – these larger and longer-term awards will allow researchers of all career stages, collaborating as a multi-disciplinary team with different expertise and skills, to take an integrated approach to tackle the more difficult questions in this domain.”
