Innovation & Collaboration Fund
We are pleased to announce our first set of Innovation and Collaboration funding awards. The funding is available to all academics from UK Higher Education Institutions, with opportunities to capitalise on the funding with industry collaboration.
The call is open from Wednesday 9th July to Monday 29th September 2025.
Please view the webinar below to learn more.
There are two types of funding available:
- Small scale project funding for UK academics
- Academic and Industry partnership funding to develop links with industrial partners
Small scale project funding
These awards are open to academics based at universities and research institutes across the UK, providing us with an opportunity to support emerging opportunities and enabling additional research teams to join the wider initiative.

Academic and Industry partnership awards
These awards will enable the development of links between industrial partners and the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative. Industrial partners will be expected to provide matched funding (cash and/or in-kind). These awards can be used to support feasibility, pilot or initial studies to provide preliminary experiments to explore ideas and generate initial data which could support the development of competitive collaborative grant proposals for longer term projects
