[cid:image001.jpg@01CC9553.5CDBBAB0] David Sainsbury Fellowships The David Sainsbury Fellowship Scheme is for exceptional early-career researchers. It aims to attract the best new talent to the challenge of developing models and tools with reduced reliance on in vivo research and/or improved animal welfare ('the 3Rs'). Five awards are available each year, with a value of £65k per annum for three years.
