The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship (DHF) programme aims to support outstanding early career scientists who require a flexible working pattern due to personal circumstances, such as caring responsibilities and/or health-related conditions. The objectives of the DHF programme are to enable the next generation of research leaders to:
- Build an independent research career at a UK university or research institution
- Gain the freedom, time and long-term flexible support to pursue high quality and innovative lines of scientific research
- Develop as a research leader by offering tailored, high quality professional development, networking and engagement opportunities.
Fellowships are for eight years, with years six to eight being subject to satisfactory progress demonstrated in a mid-fellowship review at year four.
The Royal Society recognises that diversity is essential for delivering excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The Society wants to encourage applications from the widest range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences to maximise innovation and creativity in science for the benefit of humanity. We regularly review and revise policies and processes to embed equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) principles in all aspects of the grant making process and ensure all talented applicants have an equitable chance to succeed as per the assessment criteria.
