UK REF recently published a list of research fellowships demonstrating research independence for the REF 2029 volume measure, and the list seems very useful for any early/mid-career scholar who's seeking a research fellowship. Link here: 2029.ref.ac.uk/publication/re…

This was one of the highly appreciated schemes I enjoyed overseeing during my USF trustee time. Highly recommended for urban scholars from the global South. Interested prospective applicants are welcome to approach as well.
