Industrial Partnership Awards (IPAs) through the BBSRC- DEADLINE: 17/01/18

The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have announced the Industrial Partnership Awards (IPAs), a scheme that encourages significant involvement with industry partners.  The scheme allows companies registered in the UK, or who have a UK R&D/manufacturing site to work equally on research with academic partners.  Companies from outside the UK may be worked with on a case by case basis.

Companies are expected to contribute at least 10% of the overall budget as cash. Funding is only available for organisations eligible for BBSRC support; IPA projects are normally funded in preference to standard grants of equivalent scientific merit.

Responsive mode priorities include:

  • Food, nutrition and health
  • Healthy ageing across the lifecourse
  • Reducing waste in the food chain
  • Technology development for the biosciences

The deadline for the scheme is 17 January 2018, at 16:00. For further advice, please contact Ehren Milner (emilner@bournemouth.ac.uk).
