UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has introduced new role types for funding opportunities being run on the new UKRI Funding Service.

For full details, visit Eligibility as an individual.

Team composition

We actively encourage applicants to think imaginatively about the composition of the team and to include leadership expertise from across the research ecosystem, such as technicians, professional service colleagues, representatives from non-HEI organisations as well as academics, and ensuring that the team involves people at different career stages.

To ensure meaningful engagement with their project team in developing their project, individuals are permitted to be involved in only one application.

Project leads

Your application should be submitted by a nominated lead but must be co-created with input from all named team members and partners. The nominated lead can be drawn from across the entire team and need not be an academic.

For administrative purposes, we ask that you identify a single project lead and lead research organisation. The project lead must be affiliated with the lead research organisation. The project lead and their research office will be responsible for the administration of the award.

Before applying for funding, check the following applies for the project lead:
