Technology Transfer at the Wellcome Trust is a committed funder of translational research, the process by which innovations are translated into new health products.
Helping to bridge the gap between fundamental research and commercial application, Technology Transfer supports both academic researchers and companies by funding applied research or development projects to a stage where they are attractive to a follow-on funder. | ||
| Full Profile: | ||
| Technology Transfer is currently inviting preliminary applications for two of its awards:
· Translation Awards: open to researchers from both academic institutions and early-stage companies; projects covering any aspect of technology development from a range of disciplines - including physical, computational and life sciences - will be considered. Projects must address an unmet need in healthcare or in applied medical research, offer a potential new solution, and have a realistic expectation that the innovation will be developed further by the market. Funding areas include: diagnostics, enabling technology, regenerative medicine, therapeutics, vaccine and medical devices. Deadline for preliminary applications: 17 November 2008 · Seeding Drug Discovery: this five-year, £91 million initiative aims to develop early-stage small-molecule drug discovery that will be the springboard for further research and development by the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in areas of unmet medical need. Deadline for preliminary applications: 7 November 2008 Technology Transfer has already committed over £100 million to translational projects across 50 institutions and in excess of 30 companies. The Wellcome Trust is the largest charity in the UK. It funds innovative biomedical research, in the UK and internationally, spending over £600 million each year to support the brightest scientists with the best ideas. The Wellcome Trust supports public debate about biomedical research and its impact on health and wellbeing. |
