The Hub Award

The Hub is Wellcome’s dedicated space for transdisciplinary research on the fifth floor of Wellcome Collection. 

We support the creation of new knowledge by bringing together people from different backgrounds such as academia, advocacy, clinical practice and the arts to explore specific questions of human health.  

We do this through convening, programming, and funding – primarily with The Hub Award, which has been running for over 10 years. The Hub Award is a funded £2m, three-year residency, granted to a collaborative research group using transdisciplinary methods which address Wellcome’s mission to solve urgent health challenges facing everyone. 

Apply for The Hub Award

The next round of funding for The Hub Award opens in 2026. If you would like to hear about the next Hub Award grant call please register your interest by emailing info@wellcomecollection.org with the subject line ‘Hub Award 2026’.
