Notingham breaks research funding record
The University of Notingham has secured a record-breaking £181m worth of new grants to fund its pioneering research in the last year. Academics at the University have
secured the record funding during the last financial year, which is a significant endorsement of the University’s national and international reputation as a research centre of excellence. The University has a large and
complex research portfolio and has won 801 awards from multiple funders during the last year. The University secures its funding from Research
Councils, charitable foundations, government departments, the EU, private companies, professional organisations and other grant-giving bodies. The largest of these awards is
£14.2m from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), to establish a Synthetic Biology Research Centre. There are also a further 20 awards in
excess of £1m for a variety of cuting- edge research projects. The University has performed
particularly well with the Engineering
and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), where the largest single research award of £4.6m was given for the Centre in Additive Manufacturing. Saul Tendler, Pro-Vice-Chancellor
for Research at the University, said: “This record-breaking figure is an outstanding achievement for the University, and is testament to the world-leading researchers that we have. Funding of this kind is vital to enable us to continue to carry out life-changing research, and this continued support underpins our place in the world as a research centre of excellence.”
Yorkshire businesses encouraged to work with University of York
Small- and medium-sized businesses across Yorkshire and Humberside have the opportunity to work with the University of York through the funding initiative Small Innovation Projects (SIPs). Run by the Yorkshire Innovation
Fund, SIPs provide funding of up to £6,500 to work with the University on the technical feasibility of a new product or idea. This can include industrial research, providing new knowledge for developing and improving products, and experimental development. As a result of funding, new
innovations must develop a standard business model, methodology or concept that can be systematically reproduced, and possibly certified or patented. It is hoped that University support can produce new or substantially improved products that may otherwise entail a clear degree of risk.
