Blood Cancer UK changed its name from Bloodwise in 2020. Around that time, because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity paused new calls for its fellowship schemes. This year, that support is returning in the shape of Early Career Advancement Fellowships, which offer a maximum of £350,000 for projects lasting up to three years (or five years part time).
