A Wellcome Career Development Award provides a salary for the grantholder (if required) and research expenses. You should ask for your salary (if required) and the resources you need for your research programme. You will need to justify this in your application.

The award may be held on a part-time basis. We will extend the duration of the award to reflect this.
