Leverhulme Trust recognises UCL research excellence 

The Leverhulme Trust has recognised the excellence of UCL's research, funding a doctoral training programme as well as making fifteen awards to academics to further their work in a wide range of fields including the study of the genes in yeast, chemistry and English literature. Professor Gabriella Vigliocco (UCL Psychology & Language Sciences) received a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarships award (£1,005,000) from the Leverhulme Doctoral Training Programme for the Ecological Study of the Brain, funding 15 doctoral scholarships over five years. The study's cross-disciplinary approach will see researchers from Social & Historical Sciences, Brain Sciences, Bartlett School of Architecture, Engineering and the Institute of Education work together to explore the ecological niche in which the brain has evolved. This is the first time UCL has been awarded Doctoral Training funding from the Leverhulme Trust. The Trust awarded UCL nine research grants totalling nearly £2 million. Research project grants may be held for up to five years. The maximum grant value is £500,000.
