Do you have a bright idea for a new collaborative project?
Are you part of an small or medium sized enterprise (SME) or University/Research Institute?
If so then our SPARK Award funding competition could be perfect for you. We are releasing up to 10 SPARK Awards as a means to encourage new collaborations between the research community and industry.
How it works
- The grants, which are of a fixed value of £5,000 (plus any applicable VAT), are awarded to the research partner to tackle a problem relevant to the SME.
- Projects must be in one of the four market sectors addressed by the Biosciences KTN, namely Domestic Animal Bioscience, Food Technology and Manufacture, Industrial Bioscience, and Plants & Crops.
- The scheme is designed to provide quick approval with minimal bureaucracy.
How to apply
For more information and to download the application form, please go to the SPARK Awards group on our website.
The deadline for applications is Midnight 14th December 2012.
