Our Accelerator Awards aim to expand who can lead, shape and progress in the research landscape.
Researchers of Black, Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage in the UK, who hold a UK undergraduate degree or PhD can apply. Each awardee will receive up to £200,000 for up to two years to strengthen their careers.

ALT Diego Baptista, Head of Equitable Funding at Wellcome, says: "Our Accelerator Awards acknowledge historical inequities in who gets to participate in research. It’s one small piece of a larger puzzle to ensure the richness of society can contribute to research."
