The UK National Academies with Cara (the Council for At-Risk Academics) are establishing a Researchers at Risk Fellowships Programme. The Fellowships will cover the natural sciences, medical and health sciences, engineering, humanities, social sciences and the arts with applications made via UK-based institutions.
The Programme is receiving £3 million of government funding from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The Nuffield Foundation, an independent charitable trust, is contributing £0.5 million towards the scheme.
