Freedom Scripted and script consultant Philip Shelley will work with six writers in 2027, with applications opening on 30 November.
The week-long residential, set up in memory of the Leeds writer, is led this year by Lisa Holdsworth and Carol Harding.
The BBC Comedy Liverpool Script Development project will fund five 30-minute script developments, with the aim of a returning sitcom.
The bursary scheme offers paid shadowing, mentoring and a development grant to writers, producers, directors and editors.
The BFI-backed scheme will support 10 early-career producers over 24 weeks, including a five-day residency in Cornwall.
