Funding Opportunities

Fellowship funding 

The UCL Policy Fellows programme provides UCL researchers with the opportunity to work directly with policy professionals whilst embedded within a policy environment. Offering an in-depth learning experience for early career researchers, postgraduate doctors and PhD students, our tailored partnerships provide an impactful policy engagement opportunity. 

The UCL Policy Fellows programme is funded through an internal grant scheme held by UCL Innovation and Enterprise.

The scheme awards up to £10,000 expert engagement grants to enable the development/delivery of urgent short-term policy work in response to policy demand. Up to £10,000 is available throughout the year to UCL researchers from all subject disciplines.

Please note that we are committed to values of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion. We especially encourage applications from under-represented backgrounds, or those whose research either directly involves or potentially benefits under-served or otherwise marginalised communities.
