Apply to observe a Wellcome funding advisory committee

Wellcome offers the opportunity to observe funding advisory committees. Researchers who are considering applying for Wellcome funding in the next two years can apply to observe a shortlisting committee.

When you’re a committee observer, you can watch how Wellcome assesses grant applications. This can help give you a better understanding of how Wellcome works before you submit your own application. Observers will gain understanding of:

  • how committees use our assessment criteria
  • how different aspects of the application are considered during assessment

We encourage observers to share their experience with other potential applicants.
For further details and how to apply to be a committee observer please visit the Wellcome Collection Website Here - Applications are open now until 14 April 2025.
