Request

Request Received: 14 January 2022

I have noticed that there was a funding competition [Smart Grants: October 2021] from Innovate UK that closed yesterday [13 January 2022], and I am interested to know the name of the companies/organisations in life sciences that got that help.

Response

Response Sent: 27 January 2022

The Innovate UK (IUK) Smart Grants: October 2021 competition closed to entries on 13 January 2022. The applications received have not yet been assessed and therefore the successful applicants have not yet been determined.

As is indicated in the 'Dates' section of the competition overview, applicants will be notified of outcomes on 18 March 2022. This is the earliest date that results and statistics will be available for this competition.

It is also worth noting that the names of companies and organisations that are successful in securing grant funding through IUK are intended for future publication as part of the Innovate UK Transparency Data. This data is updated with details of successful applications once all projects in a competition have cleared project set up, including financial viability and eligibility checks.
