What research and innovation grants can a UK business get?
In this catalogue, 67 research and innovation schemes are not past their listed date, out of 72 tagged that way. Innovate UK competitions, UKRI and a business working with a research body. A tag is not an award. Check the funder, the place and the deadline. Examples in the catalogue: Innovate UK Smart grant; Knowledge Transfer Partnership; Advancing innovation in accelerated cancer diagnosis; Advancing solutions for critical mineral production and recycling (Grant).
Also asked as: Research and innovation grants UK · research and innovation funding
Does this include UK-wide schemes?
Yes, if the scheme text matches this area of work. A UK-wide competition still has its own eligibility. A local scheme still stops at its boundary.
What if my trade is not named?
Use the postcode check with the industry set, and read the near misses. A scheme with no industry on the listing is not shown as a match for a specific trade.
