There are a number of Fellowships which provide flexible support for anyone wishing to return to work. These include The Royal Society, Daphne Jackson Trust and the Wellcome. It has traditionally been challenging - particularly for female researchers - to manage a research career with other responsibilities such as family commitments. Substantial career breaks can also make it difficult for anyone to return to research. There are a number of Fellowships available to provide flexible support for women and men at all career stages wishing to return to work.
