Innovate UK, the Medical Research Council and Scottish Enterprise invite proposals for their biomedical catalyst business-led early stage awards. These enable businesses to develop innovative healthcare technologies and processes in order to address the growing burden of disease. Proposals should seek to test a well-developed concept and show its effectiveness in a relevant environment, which must be done through:
•experimental evaluation – lab scale;
•initial demonstration using in vitro and in vivo models, however not in human trials;
•exploration of potential production mechanisms;
•early-stage prototyping;
•product development planning;
•intellectual property protection.
Solutions should seek to provide disease prevention and proactive management of health and chronic conditions; earlier and better detection and diagnosis of diseases leading to better patient outcomes; and tailored treatments that either change the underlying disease or offer potential cures.
