Eligibility

BBSRC-NC3Rs ICURe Explore is open to bioscience teams in all UK universities, BBSRC-funded institutes and approved public sector research enterprises.

The research underpinning the bioscience innovation, products or services being carried forward for market exploration by the team must be building on a previous BBSRC, UK Research and Innovation or NC3Rs grants.

We will specifically support market exploration for emerging technologies, products and services that offer the realistic possibility of replacing the use of specific in vivo models or refining animal studies in line with the NC3Rs mission that align with BBSRC’s standard ICURe scope (see the scope section).

Teams

ICURe Explore teams must be composed of four individuals:

Entrepreneurial lead

Any research or technical research staff member who receives their salary or stipend from an eligible university, public sector research enterprises or institute.

This includes, but is not limited to:

PhD students
technicians
postdoctoral research associates
fellowship and group leader positions

This individual must be able to commit full-time for the duration of the programme starting the week of the bootcamp, and have approval of their institute, organisation or funder.

Associated science advisor

A researcher who can provide intellectual support to the entrepreneurial lead throughout the course of the programme. For example, an interdisciplinary project may require input from outside the research group.

Technology transfer representative or professional

An individual from the team, either from or contracted to the research organisation, leading on the commercialisation of the intellectual asset with appropriate technology transfer expertise.

This individual must be able to:

attend essential bootcamp sessions as well as the options roundabout
provide support for the entrepreneurial lead and team during the programme
provide continued support for further commercialisation activity following the programmes conclusion

Business adviser

A motivated individual from a relevant industrial sector who can offer expert guidance and support. Teams are strongly encouraged to name a business adviser in their application. Please contact the ICURe administration team if identifying a suitable advisor is a barrier. Teams are responsible for any agreements or financial arrangements that may be needed with their business advisers.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to improving diversity across our programmes and are actively seeking applications from under-represented groups, including women, people of colour, those living with disabilities and those from the LGBTQI+ communities.

We also actively encourage applications led by non-Russell Group Universities.

The spread across different target market sectors will also be considered when selecting applications to ensure broad portfolio coverage.

Description

Apply for funding to ‘get out of the lab’ and validate commercially promising bioscience-based ideas, research, science and technologies.

BBSRC ICURe Explore funds, trains and supports research teams from:

UK universities
BBSRC-funded institutes
approved public sector research enterprises

This cohort is a collaboration between BBSRC and NC3Rs.

In this round, the programme will support market exploration for emerging technologies, products and services that offer the realistic possibility of replacing the use of specific in vivo models or refining animal studies in line with the NC3Rs mission that align with BBSRC’s standard ICURe scope (see the scope section).
