Funding alert for engineering biology projects!
SPARK Awards of up to £15,000 are available to fund UK academic institutions or Research and Technology Organisations (RTO) to deliver an engineering biology project.
Applications will be in collaboration with a UK-registered small and medium-sized enterprise (SME). Projects should either address a challenge held by a UK-registered SME or to enhance the SME’s progress towards developing new products, processes, or services.
These awards are part of the Engineering Biology Innovation Network, led by Innovate UK Business Connect in collaboration with Innovate UK and UKRI’s Technology Mission Fund.
The network aims to drive the development of a joined-up UK innovation ecosystem to ensure synthetic biology tools, technologies and processes can be developed and adopted by industry.
Projects should focus on one of eight areas, including agriculture and food, healthcare and synthetic biology tools and technologies.
