Applications for Fellowship funding should come from an organisation (the Lead Organisation) and not an individual.

The host organisation where the individual will carry out the training or research must be in the UK.
The Lead Organisation:
- must have expertise in natural resource management
- can be either a public or private sector organisation
- should provide experts from within the organisation with a proven track record and at the forefront of their discipline(s) to work closely with or supervise the Fellow. This expertise is typically expected to be a minimum of 10 years of relevant experience
Darwin Fellowships will support promising individuals who:
- have a link with a recent or current Darwin Initiative project or
- are currently involved directly in the implementation of the key biodiversity conventions and agreements listed above
Further information is available in the guidance.
