What is NIF?
The Newton International Fellowship scheme will select the very best early stage post-doctoral researchers from all over the world, and offer support for two years at UK research institutions.

The long-term aim of the scheme is to build a global pool of research leaders and encourage long-term international collaboration with the UK.

The Newton International Fellowships scheme is run by The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.

The Fellowships cover the broad range of natural and social sciences, engineering and the humanities.

Salary
They provide grants of 24,000 pound per annum to cover subsistence and 8,000 pound to cover research expenses, plus a one-off relocation allowance of 2,000 pound.

As part of the scheme, all Newton Fellows who remain in research will be granted a 10 year follow-up funding package worth 6,000 pound per annum.

How to apply?
Applications are made online through e-GAP2, an electronic application system run by the Royal Society. You must have a strong research project and a UK Sponsor.

Applications for all Newton International Fellowships should be made online through the Royal Society’s Electronic Grant Application and Processing (e-GAP2) system.

Before starting to complete the online form, you should read the Scheme Notes.

You should also be aware that an application is made jointly by you and your proposed UK Sponsor. Please note that no help in finding a UK Sponsor will be provided by any of the three implementing academies. You need to have agreed a research project with your proposed UK Sponsor before you apply.

You will be asked to identify two independent referees who are familiar with your research area. They will be sent a copy of your application; please make sure that they are aware of the main features of your proposal.

e-GAP2 – Guidance for Referees will be sent telling them how to make their reports on e-GAP2.

You will also be asked to provide a letter of support from your current manager outlining your suitability for the Fellowship and explaining how it will benefit your research career.

The scheme is competitive and as such it is important to make the best case for your application. You should:

Include all relevant information and supporting arguments in the application; the application stands alone and there is no opportunity for reconsideration on further evidence after assessments have been made.

Observe the assessment criteria to ensure you are providing the necessary information to show how your application meets these.

Present your application clearly; evidence of good planning, financial responsibility and measurable outcomes can be as important as excellent research.

Save information entered on e-GAP2 as you proceed: you may be automatically logged out after a long period of inactivity and any unsaved information will be lost.

Print a copy of your application and check that no information is omitted before submitting: once submitted you will not be able to edit your application without asking your approver to return it to you.

Specific enquiries on the application process and e-GAP2 should be addressed to: e-gap@royalsociety.org
