The Fellowships enable researchers to work for two years at a UK research institution with the aim of fostering long-term international collaborations. Additional Newton International Fellowships will be supported through the Newton Fund, specifically for applicants from Newton Fund partner countries which include Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, and Turkey, subject to additional funding.

Newton International Fellows will receive an allowance of £24,000 (tax exempt) to cover subsistence and up to £8,000 to cover research expenses in each year of the Fellowship. A one-off relocation allowance of up to £2,000 is also available.

Applicants may also be eligible to receive follow-on alumni funding following the tenure of their Fellowship to support networking activities with UK-based researchers.
