How to acknowledge Wellcome funding in research publications

If you are funded by us, you must list Wellcome and your grant number in all your research publications. This applies even if you're not the corresponding author.

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.

If you have more than one Wellcome grant, separate each grant number with a comma and space.

If you need to acknowledge more than one funder, separate each one with a semi-colon.

This is in line with Research Information Network's 'Acknowledgement of Funders in Scholarly Journal Articles' guidance(opens in a new tab).

Examples

Single grant

'This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant number].'

Multiple grants and funders

'This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant number], [grant number]; Cancer Research UK [grant number]; another funder [grant number]; etc.'
