Request

Request Received: 19 June 2023

I am requesting under the Freedom of Information act the following, to aid with my understanding of the current process for assessing and determining a project's suitability for funding with regards to the Biomedical Catalyst 2023 Round 1: Industry-led R&D competition [opened 4/01/2023 and closed 1/03/2023] for projects with requested overall grant of over £500,000:

[1] the scoring criteria / assessment matrix for the assessment of projects in the interview stage of the competition, used by the interview panels,

[2] the training documentation provided to the panel members conducting the interviews,

[3] if existing, the pool / bank of interview questions provided to the panel members.

If information relating to 2023 Round 1 is not available due to recently conducted interviews, information from a previous closed round (2022 Round 1 or Round 2) will likely work.
