Science & innovation awards

Science and Innovation Awards are large, long-term grants in strategically important research areas that are missing or 'at risk' in the UK. The scheme is now closed to new applications. We have no plans for any similar activities in the near future.

The aim of the awards is to build new activity in areas of national strategic importance, with a particular focus on supporting new research leaders. The grants (typically £3-5 million over 5 years) provide funding for staff in a research group, with commitment from the host research organisation to continue support after the end of the grant.

For questions about existing grants, please contact Steve Milsom (01793 444319).
