BBSRC-STFC: Facility access funding for bioscience partnerships
BBSRC and STFC are pleased to announce the expression of interest stage for the 3rd round of the BBSRC STFC Facility Access Funding for Bioscience Partnerships is now open. £2.1 million is available to support UK bioscience researchers and businesses in accessing and benefiting from access to STFC skills, expertise, capabilities and world-class facilities, including:
- neutrons
- X-rays
- lasers
- high-performance computing
- scientific computing
- quantum computing
- deep underground science facility
The programme is setup specifically to assist academic-industry collaborative R&D partnerships in accelerating the development of new products or services that require further research and innovation at proof-of-concept stage.
For the expression of interest stage, companies will be required to outline the project they want to undertake in the form of a short challenge statement, describing the nature of the opportunity or challenge and the value of solving it. The deadline for the expression of interest stage is 4 pm on June 5, 2025.
We will be holding an in-person showcase event at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Harwell on the 6 of May. This event will be an opportunity to hear from previous facility access fund grant holders and network with STFC facility staff. You can register for the showcase event on Eventbrite.
