Highlight notice: Call opens on 10 November. A briefing for potential
up to £2m
applicants will be held in London on 25 November 2014.
Innovate UK is to invest up to £2m in feasibility studies to stimulate
innovation across four enabling technology areas: advanced materials;
biosciences; electronics, sensors and photonics; and information and
communications. We are seeking proposals that will kick-start the
delivery of genuinely new products and services, with substantial and
scalable commercial potential.
The aim of this competition is to ensure that small and micro businesses
in the UK are equipped to respond to market opportunities across a range
of economic sectors.
Projects must be business-led and are open to small or micro companies
only, working either singly or in collaboration with one other small or
micro company. We expect to fund feasibility studies conducting preindustrial research, in which a business partner will generally attract up to
75% public funding for their project costs.

This initiative enables academic researchers in the UK or Ireland to utilise
tissue for breast cancer research purposes. The bank consists primarily of
cancerous and normal tissue collected from consenting donors for use in
research.
This is an initiative where tissue samples donated by patients from across
the UK will be safely and consistently stored. The samples are available to
scientists to study how and why breast cancer develops and spreads, and
to devise the best possible treatments.
These support the development of plastic and reconstructive surgery in
countries with poorly resourced medical provision. Grants are worth
£10,000 for a period of up to one year, and cover the costs of developing
centres, equipment, conferences and training meetings, and travel costs.
These are available to all senior cardiovascular scientists, and contribute
towards the cost of providing essential infrastructure to support
cardiovascular science in any academic institution. Grants are worth up to
£1 million, but cost-sharing is required. A significant proportion of the
required funds, usually half, must be available locally.

These support individuals or teams at eligible institutions to conduct
research projects, large-scale surveys and other infrastructure or
methodological developments in any area within the councils remit. Grants
range from £200,000 to £2 million and cover 100 per cent full economic
cost.
This initiative will support novel clinical trials in the areas of islet
transplantation, kidney and liver transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and
allergy and asthma, as well as the development of novel tolerance assay or
mechanistic studies. Funds will be available to academic, government or
industry-based researchers.
The aim of these grants is to encourage a wider range of applications
applying systems approaches to medical research. Applications in systems
medicine will be welcomed across the MRCs broad remit, especially at
programme-level.
This may support a period of service training, personal development or
study for management qualifications beneficial to clinical pathology service
delivery, which may be undertaken at home or overseas. A total of £10,000
is available for one or more awards.
These contribute towards the cost of providing essential infrastructure to
support cardiovascular science in any academic institution. Up to £500,000
is available.

Summary
http://www.meresearch.org.uk/rese These are to fund research projects on myalgic encephalomyelitis. The
arch/funding/
priority is novel clinical and biomedical studies that help to unravel the
biology of ME/CFS, and studies that may point towards therapeutic
strategies. They particularly welcome applications for pilot studies or seedcorn projects, including those which seek support for consumables rather
than staff costs, from researchers anywhere in the world.

Summary
Funding Available
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/red/develop Horizon 2020 is a funding programme designed for all people involved in
Various
ment/international/horizon2020.html research and innovation - academia, research, industry and other
stakeholder organisations. It contains a number of different funding
programmes and mechanisms, and is based on a structure of three pillars:
Excellent Science; Industrial Leadership & Societal Challenges.
Within these pillars there are opportunities for individual researchers and
groups of researchers to apply for funding. The choice of pillar and
underlying programme depends on what a researcher is looking for funding
for in terms of the size of the planned project, whether it is basic or applied
or whether someone is interested in moving to Bristol from another country.
The RED website has a wealth of information available on Horizon 2020 as
well as details of who to contact.

Seedcorn Scheme
Transformative research is defined as research at the frontiers of the social
sciences, which challenges current thinking. These awards are to enable
preliminary or developmental projects which have significant transformative
potential, and which lead to the development of a funding bid to an
appropriate external funder.
