- Institution applies
About
Support a strategic innovation partnership that transfers research knowledge into a UK business. The academic or research partner recruits an associate to deliver the project and embed new capabilities. Projects normally fit within two years, with justified extensions up to three.
Eligibility
Covers: Grant funding contributes to a partnership project alongside the business contribution. The GBP 12.5 million figure is the competition budget, not an individual award. Projects exceeding 24 months require justification, up to 36 months.
UK knowledge-base and business partners; the competition’s business eligibility and subsidy conditions apply.
A UK HE or FE institution, RTO or Catapult leads with an eligible UK business employing at least two full-time staff. The business contributes to costs. This is a partnership funding application, not an advertised associate job.
