Evidence of how you have the right balance of skills and aptitude to deliver the fellowship, including:

the subject matter and / or methodological expertise relevant to the requirements of the specific position applied for
the ability to design and lead activities that support effective knowledge exchange between research, policy and funder communities, recognising the opportunities and challenges that present
the ability to work collaboratively and effectively at pace to deliver shared goals
the ability to communicate complex information and analysis to a non-academic audience

You also need to show evidence of how you have:

Within this section you can also demonstrate elements of your responses in visual form, such as images, if relevant.

When including images, you must:

provide a descriptive caption or legend for each image immediately underneath it in the text box (this must be outside the image and counts towards your word limit)
insert each new image on a new line
use files smaller than 5MB and in JPEG, JPG, JPE, JFI, JIF, JFIF, PNG, GIF, BMP or WEBP format

Images should only be used to convey important visual information that cannot easily be put into words. The following are not permitted, and your application may be rejected if you include:

sentences or paragraphs of text
tables
excessive quantities of images

A few words are permitted where the image would lack clarity without the contextual words, such as a diagram, where text labels are required for an axis or graph column.

The word count for this section is 1,650 words, 1,150 words to be used for R4RI modules (including references) and, if necessary, a further 500 words for Additions.

Use the Résumé for Research and Innovation (R4RI) format to showcase the range of relevant skills you have and how this will help to deliver the proposed work. You can include specific achievements and choose past contributions that best evidence your ability to deliver this work.

Complete this section using the following R4RI module headings. You should use each heading once, see the UKRI guidance on R4RI. You should consider how to balance your answer, and emphasise where appropriate the key skills you bring:

contributions to the generation of new ideas, tools, methodologies, or knowledge  
the development of others and maintenance of effective working relationships  
contributions to the wider research and innovation community  
contributions to broader research or innovation, users and audiences, and towards wider societal benefit

Additions: Provide any further details relevant to your application. This section is optional and can be up to 500 words. You should not use it to describe additional skills, experiences, or outputs, but you can use it to describe any factors that provide context for the rest of your R4RI (for example, details of career breaks if you wish to disclose them).

You should complete this section as a narrative. Do not format it like a CV.
