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 pre-industrial
research, in which a business partner will generally attract up to 75% public
funding for their project costs.

Summary
In advance of the formal announcement later in the year, we would like to let
you know that £4 million of funding is to be invested into feasibility studies to
advance the development and application of non-animal technologies. The
competition is funded jointly by the TSB, NC3Rs, BBSRC, EPSRC and
DSTL. Building on the output of workshops held by the TSB and the NC3Rs
earlier this year, a key aim of the funding is to harness the commercial
potential of technologies in this area.
The TSB and the NC3Rs are holding networking events in Cardiff on
January 22 to highlight the scope of the competition and facilitate consortia
building. See the website to register.
Awards ranging from £200,000 to £2 million, will be made to eligible
institutions to allow individuals or research teams to undertake research
projects in subject areas falling within the ESRC remit.
This program offers the opportunity for over 25 academics to visit Google
from universities all over the world.
These awards are intended to initiate interdisciplinary discussions on
problems or issues, to help launch interdisciplinary research networks, or to
fund communities of researchers/practitioners dedicated to developing new
methods, tools, and applications of basic research to applied problems.

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.

Summary
Highlight notice:
Information on forthcoming £375 million Newton Fund and the partner
countries under the fund. It also sets out 3 broad categories of activity:
people: improving science and innovation expertise (known as ‘capacity
building’), student and researcher fellowships, mobility schemes and joint
centres; programmes: research collaborations on development topics;
translation: innovation partnerships and challenge funds to develop
innovative solutions on development topics
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/red/development/opportu The ESRC has awarded prize funds to the University of Bristol in order to
foster and encourage transformative research across the social sciences.
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.
http://www.mrc.ac.uk/innovation/mrc-industryThis encourages and supports collaborative research projects between
collaboration-agreement/
academic and industry researchers through an agreement to undertake
collaborative research. It can be applied to the majority of MRC’s funding
schemes and calls.
http://www.medrc.org/home/index.cfm?area=res This supports basic and applied research and development projects in water

desalination and supporting fields, with the overall objective to reduce the
cost of desalination. In general, the recipient is expected to provide at least
50 per cent of the total project costs.
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/red/development/opport Two new calls have now been made live under the University of Bristol's
unities/transformativesocialscience.html
Transformative Social Science scheme. They are:
Networking Awards - funding for themed one-off events that bring together
university researchers with stakeholders, policy makers, practitioners etc
from outside academia to share information and develop new collaborations.
Sandpit Awards - funding to bring together a group of academic staff to
develop research projects on a chosen theme. Seedcorn funds can be made
available for projects resulting from the sandpit events.
Both of these calls are to be run on an open basis, without deadlines.
However the total funding available is limited.
