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.

resistance
As part of the cross-council initiative in Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) the
EPSRC is highlighting this future call which will aim to engage engineering
and physical sciences (EPS) researchers with the AMR challenge and to
develop networks within their institutions focussed on the four
multidisciplinary themes in the cross-council AMR initiative. These networks
will support people to build capacity and understanding which could lead to
future research proposals.
This intervention is based on the success of 'Bridging the Gaps' which
allowed institutions to undertake a range of people-focussed activities to
facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, funding for which can be difficult to
find elsewhere. We expect that Universities will focus on a part of the
research agenda, depending on their individual strengths, but a key
requirement will be the engagement of engineering and the physical
sciences (including mathematical sciences) as part of the multidisciplinary
networks.

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 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.

relevant overseas institutions. The network award is normally worth up to
£125,000 for a maximum of three years, though requests for higher
amounts may be made.
The programme supports the residency of an artist of any kind or nationality
in a UK institution to foster a creative collaboration between the artist and
the institutions staff or students. The term ‘artist’ encompasses visual
artists, creative writers, musicians, poets and other producers of original
creative work. The maximum total cost can be up to £15,000 overall for a
typical residency of 10 months.
These support innovative and original research projects where the choice of
research theme and design lies entirely with the applicant. The great
majority of awards involve a spend of up to £250,000 over a duration of two
to three years.
These fund novel clinical and biomedical studies that help unravel the
biology of myalgic encephalomyelitis (chronic fatigue syndrome), and
studies that may point towards therapeutic strategies.
The programmes priority is novel clinical and biomedical studies that help to
unravel the biology of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue
syndrome, and studies that may point towards therapeutic strategies.
Grants may cover items of medical equipment, consumables associated
with laboratory tests or salaries.
This supports research that will offer a better understanding of the
associations between environmental exposures and health effects to inform
risk assessment by policymakers and individuals, and facilitate the
development of strategies for the prevention of diseases.
Proposals are welcomed across the range of areas specified, including the
following: The development of improved personal measures of
environmental exposure that can be applied in population studies to
address pressing research questions; and Mechanistic and system-based
approaches exploring the causal pathways between exposure and chronic
diseases. Collaborative partnerships between the disciplines required to
tackle the development of these measures (for instance between population
health scientists and physical/engineering scientists, chemical biologists or
fundamental biomedical researchers) are strongly encouraged.

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

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.
