HVB’s Flexible Fund provides a range of awards that support progression of research within the scope of the Network. The total fund value is £1.41M and we anticipate all funds will have been awarded by 2022. All funding must be awarded to applicants who are eligible to receive BBSRC funding.
Please note that all our funding calls advertised on this page are open. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak, we have measures in place for flexible deadlines (please see each individual call) and we will be sympathetic to reasonable changes in the start dates of projects.
HVB BIVs aim to encourage collaboration and partnerships between academic and industrial partners. BIVs provide funds of up to £10,000 for a defined piece of work undertaken by an academic with an industrial partner, who should co-fund the project with cash or in-kind contributions.
