Daphne Jackson Memorial Fellowships Trust
About This Funder
The Daphne Jackson Memorial Fellowships Trust, a UK charity established in 1992, honors the UK's first female physics professor by enabling researchers in STEM, arts, humanities, social sciences, and other disciplines to restart careers after a two-year or longer break for family, caring, or health reasons. Its mission champions equality, diversity, and inclusion, valuing diverse career paths and retaining talent for UK research infrastructure, with over 500 fellows supported since inception—90% remaining in research and two-thirds securing host institution jobs.
It funds personalized, part-time fellowships (typically two years at 0.5 FTE) hosted by UK universities, research institutes, or industry labs, covering fellow salary, at least 100 hours annual retraining, mentoring, research consumables, professional development, and specialist needs. Projects span fields like cardiovascular research, dementia, biotech, and archaeology, often co-funded by partners such as research councils, charities (e.g., British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer’s Society), and institutions to align with strategic priorities in EDI and excellence.
Eligible applicants are individual UK-resident researchers with PhDs or equivalent experience and a qualifying career break; hosts must provide supervision but face no income/size restrictions. Unsolicited applications start via email (CV, personal statement, host details), with rolling review, advisor support, and ~12-month timelines to award (partner calls may have deadlines, e.g., 24 November 2025). Typical grants: £50,000–£100,000. Exclusions include core host costs or organizational funding; uniquely tailored, co-funded, and evidence-based (e.g., £37M institutional savings, 1,250 research years retained), it stands out for rigorous, high-impact re-entry support across disciplines.
