Pump-Priming Scheme
Pump-priming Awards provide relatively modest amounts of resources for equipment, consumables, proof-of concept prototypes, visits, short-term support of personnel.
These awards are intended to enable staff to move research forward to a level where more substantial funding can be sought.
The maximum amount of any single pump-priming award will be £4,000 – there is no minimum. A brief summary of costs in the application form will be sufficient.
Below is a list showing the projects that have been awarded pump-priming funding. Click on the name to find out more about the project.
