Proposals are invited by 4 December (12 noon) for NERC funding to deliver a Pilot Impact Acceleration Account (IAA).
NERC has awarded The University of Manchester £100k to deliver a Pilot Impact Acceleration Account (IAA), building on the successful delivery of its Knowledge Exchange activities and support from other Research Councils.
Running until April 2014, the £100k IAA will aim to ensure that the University fulfills its strategic Knowledge Exchange objectives in the domains covered by NERC research.
The University’s IAA Operations Board is pleased to announce a call for proposals for funding under the following mechanisms:
- Relationship Incubator Scheme – To develop early stage contact and strategic alignment between business and academics
- Concept Development and Feasibility Study Scheme – To bridge the gap in support for early stage commercialisation of ideas
