The Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship, known as the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award until 2020,[2][3] is a 5 years fellowship awarded by the Royal Society since 2000.[4] The scheme is described by the Royal Society as providing long-term flexible funding for senior career researchers recruited or retained to a UK university or research institution in fields identified as a strategic priority for the host department or organisation.[4]

It is administered by the Royal Society and jointly funded by the Wolfson Foundation and the UK Office of Science and Technology, to provide universities "with additional financial support to attract key researchers to this country or to retain those who might seek to gain higher salaries elsewhere."[2] to tackle the brain drain.[1] They are given in four annual rounds, with up to seven awards per round.[1]
Since 2021, the Royal Society Wolfson Fellowships program has expanded to include a Visiting Fellowship strand.[5]
