The UKRI Policy Fellowships 2025, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, offer 18-month placements for academics to co-design research with UK government and What Works Network host organizations. Awards range from £180,000 to £280,000 and support three fellowship tracks: core policy fellows, Natural Hazards and Resilience policy fellows, and What Works Innovation fellows. Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent research experience, be based at a UKRI-eligible UK organization, and possess relevant subject matter or methodological expertise. Government-hosted positions target early to mid-career academics, while What Works fellowships welcome all career stages. Fellows work directly with policymakers to bridge academic research and policy development on pressing national and global challenges. The application deadline is July 15, 2025.
The Smart Data Research UK Fellowships provide up to £200,000 per project for researchers using smart data to address real-world challenges across the United Kingdom. Funded by UKRI through Smart Data Research UK, this program supports up to ten projects lasting 18 months, with start dates by February 2026. Applicants must be based at eligible UK organizations and demonstrate strong data skills with a compelling research question aligned to one of four SDR UK themes: productivity and prosperity, health and wellbeing, sustainability, or communities and places. Researchers at all career stages may apply, with early career researchers particularly encouraged. Projects may use smart datasets from SDR UK's six national data services or combine smart data with administrative and survey data sources.
NSF X-Labs is unlike any NSF program in the agency's history: it runs on Other Transaction Authority, not a grant; it funds teams up to $1.5M in Phase 0 and as much as $50 million per year in Phase 1; and it demands an 8-page written proposal followed by an invitation-only oral defense in which NSF refuses to look at what you wrote. The Quantum Systems topic closes July 24, 2026. Here is what X-Labs actually is, why the structure signals a new NSF, and who is positioned to win a DARPA-style award from an agency that has never operated this way before.
Read articleThe National Science Foundation announced $1.5 billion over a decade for X-Labs — milestone-based, Other Transactions Authority awards built around independent teams of researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. The first two topics target quantum-enabled imaging and quantum interconnects. Here is what the new mechanism means for traditional grantees and what the first round actually demands.
