£10 million funding to spark innovation and new careers in the biomedical sector
UKRI has launched a new programme that aims to spark innovation and help people move between different research careers. 3 calls are open for UK-based researchers and hosting companies.

About the application procedure
UKRI has launched a new programme that aims to spark innovation and help people move between different research careers.
The first £10 million pilot of the Innovation Scholars secondment scheme will help employers in the biomedical sector recruit secondees from any discipline in academia, the NHS or other sectors. The hosts will benefit from a talented person, while the individual will be able to develop new skills and exchange knowledge.
The UK government is committed to raising the R&D intensity of the UK economy to 2.4% of GDP. To do so, UK Research and Innovation estimates that the economy will need over 200,000 additional researchers, who will work in diverse sectors.
Although a pilot scheme is focussed on applications made in the biomedical sector, the scheme is likely to be opened up to applications involving other sectors in the future.
About the programme
Hosting companies must be working within the biomedical sector and willing to host for a maximum period of 36 months (part or full time) a researcher. Only UK-based researchers and organisations are entitled to apply.
The maximum amount for the grant is £300.000 per secondment. It covers the direct salary costs, national insurance, travel and subsistence costs.
