Funding opportunities

We're funding research at the edge of what is technologically or scientifically possible.

Types of funding:

Programmes (£10m–100m)

Our programmes are designed to advance complex, large-scale ideas which require coordinated investment and management across disciplines and institutions. To build a programme, each Programme Director directs the review, selection, and funding of a portfolio of projects which work in tandem to drive breakthroughs.

Opportunity seeds (up to £500k)

With smaller budgets and less structure than programmes, seeds support individual research teams to uncover new pathways that could inspire future programmes or might justify additional support as a standalone project.
