Tracking the Careers of Royal Society Research Fellows

29/04/2025

The Royal Society commissioned CRAC/Vitae to deliver a second iteration of the Society ‘Career pathway tracker’ project that followed the progress of the alumni of three of the Royal Society’s early career research fellowship schemes: University Research Fellowships, Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships and Sir Henry Dale Fellowships. This updated evaluation followed the inaugural career tracker project and evaluation of the URF and DHF schemes in 2017/18 and an evaluation of the SHD scheme in 2019.

The project continues to provide insight into the careers of scientists in receipt of these prestigious awards, designed to accelerate them to positions of independent research leadership.
