All other call details remain unchanged. *** The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its follow-on funding scheme. This provides financial support at the very early or pre-seed stage of turning research outputs into a commercial proposition. This may be used for: 鈥ndertaking further scientific and technical development of an idea; 鈥mproving an intellectual property position; 鈥aining further information about the market for the new products or process; 鈥dentifying potential licensees or opportunities for joint ventures. Lead applicants must be employed within a research organisation group previously or currently funded by the STFC core science programme, and should show that their work will develop technologies or expertise from STFC funded projects. The lead research organisation must be an approved UK HEI, research council institute or independent research organisation. Grants are worth up to 拢88,000 each over one year at 80 per cent full economic cost. |

This aims to transfer technology and expertise developed through STFC funding to the marketplace in partnership with industry and other academic disciplines. Applicants must collaborate with a partner. Lead applicants must be employed within a university academic group previously or be currently funded by the STFC core science programme, or employed within a STFC laboratory or facility, and should show that their work will develop technologies or expertise from this research. HEIs, research council institutes and independent research organisations eligible for RCUK funding may apply as lead research organisations. Proposals must demonstrate that science, technology and expertise involved originated from the STFC core science programme, STFC facilities and laboratories, CERN, the European Southern Observatory or the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Industrial and non-profit organisations may also apply in collaboration with a lead academic partner.

All other call details remain unchanged. *** The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its innovation partnership scheme fellowships. These support a knowledge exchange and commercialisation professional in a position at a UK university in developing innovation and impact from its STFC-funded research outputs. The fellow must cultivate innovation opportunities by facilitating the transfer of technologies, skills and knowledge to industry and other users of research outputs. They must also focus on commercial exploitation to ensure UK economic impact, and strive to enhance the capacity for knowledge exchange within STFC funded departments of the host university. UK universities or consortia of universities may apply. The host university is expected to be in receipt of significant active grant funding from the STFC science programme. Fellowships are for up to four years, covering up to 50 per cent of the fellowship at 80 per cent full economic costing. |
