How to acknowledge Wellcome funding in research outputs
You must acknowledge Wellcome's support in all your research publications and other outputs. This enables us to monitor and evaluate the outputs of the research we fund.
You must list Wellcome and your Wellcome grant reference number in all your research outputs. This applies to all your research outputs to which Wellcome funding contributed.
Make sure your acknowledgement:
- is included in the funding or any other relevant section
- contains the name(s) of your funder(s) in full
- contains all grant reference numbers in square brackets.
You can find your grant reference number in your award letter, or by checking your awarded grant details on the Wellcome Funding platform. It will follow this format: 000000/Z/00/Z.
If you have more than one Wellcome grant, separate each grant reference number with a comma and space.
If you need to acknowledge more than one funder, separate each one with a semi-colon.
Examples
Single grant
'This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [Wellcome grant reference number].'
Multiple grants and funders
'This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [Wellcome grant reference number], [Wellcome grant reference number]; Cancer Research UK [grant reference number]; another funder [grant reference number]; etc.'
