UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships Round 11
UKRI has not yet published the pre-announcement for Round 11 of the FLF. Due to the nature of this scheme, the University of Glasgow is able to submit a limited number of applications. The University will run an internal selection process. As with previous rounds, this process will be designed with applicant support in mind and will work alongside the UKRI timelines.
Please check with your School/College Research Office for any local processes associated with this call. As we await the pre-announcement, both internal and external applicants are welcome to complete the Intention to Submit form. This form is not required, but will allow us to send interested applicants any FLF updates.
FLF at the University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow has a strong track record of success in previous rounds of the FLF. You can read about our four recent Round 6 FLF awardees here, our two awardees in Round 7 here and our most recent success in Round 8 here. The University is also a partner in the FLF Development Network.
Expressions of Interest
While Round 11 has not yet been officially announced by UKRI, we are anticipating this to have a summer 2026 deadline on the same lines as Round 10. In anticipation of the call opening, the University of Glasgow welcomes interested candidates, both internal and external, to get in touch with their respective four Colleges to let us know of their interest in submitting an application with the University.
