Short-listed candidates may also apply for a small supplemental grant if they have extra-ordinary costs arising during the fellowship that result from either: (a) caring responsibilities for dependent persons (e.g. childcare), or (b) disability. Fellowships should begin no earlier than July 2022, and no later than one year after the application deadline (i.e. by 9th May 2023).
