Innovate UK, the Medical Research Council and Scottish Enterprise invite proposals for their biomedical catalyst business-led feasibility studies. Funding enables businesses to develop solutions to healthcare challenges through the exploration and evaluation of the commercial potential of an early-stage scientific idea. Proposals must address the following challenges:
•reviewing research evidence and identifying applications;
•assessing business opportunities;
•investigating intellectual property issues;
•validating initial concepts or existing pre-clinical work through experimental studies;
•identifying areas for further development.
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.
