We now allow researchers to cite preprints in their grant applications.

Time restrictions based on the number of years since a researcher was awarded their PhD have been removed from Wellcome fellowship schemes.

As of January 2017, the Wellcome Trust will permit researchers to cite preprints, or pre-peer reviewed manuscripts, in their grant applications and end-of-grant review reports.

Earlier this year, we announced that six teams had made it through to the final of the Open Science Prize. We’re asking you to help us choose the three most impactful and novel prototypes from among the six finalists.

In April, we announced we were pausing our public engagement funding to thoroughly review and explore the best ways for us to support public engagement activities in future. Now, we’re pleased – and more than a little excited – to share the outcome of this work.

Wellcome Open Research provides all Wellcome researchers with a place to rapidly publish any results they think are worth sharing.

The Wellcome Trust publishes details of Open Access spend and analysis of whether they get what they pay for.

Peter Maloca from University of Basel is one of the winners of the Wellcome Image Awards 2016.

To help make the costs around open access more transparent, the Wellcome Trust has published details on how much it spent on article processing charges in the year 2013-14.

The Wellcome Trust launches the new Collaborative Awards, enabling teams of researchers to apply together and bring new perspectives to the work they are doing.

The Wellcome Trust and the RCUK plan to pilot a streamlined endorsement process to make it easier for outstanding international researchers to obtain Tier 1 Exceptional Talent or Exceptional Promise visas.
