The development contracts placed will be for a maximum of six months and up to £100,000 (including VAT) per project.
This competition has been supported by the following AHSNs: Health Innovation Network (AHSN for South London), Innovation Agency (AHSN for the North West Coast), South West AHSN and Health Innovation Manchester, but applications are invited from across England.
More about SBRI Healthcare
Launched in 2009, NHS East and NHS Midlands were the first regional health authority to develop an Small Business Research Initiatives scheme (SBRI) to find solutions for identified healthcare problems.
Going forward SBRI East worked to bring together business, health, technology and government partners to deliver a series of competitions for businesses to address major unmet health needs.
Unlike many Research and Development projects which offer grant or match funding, SBRI contracts are 100% funded and the inventor retains the Intellectual Property.
As part of Innovation Health and Wealth, the SBRI Healthcare programme sets industry the challenge in a series of health-related competitions which resulted in fully funded development contracts between the awarded company and the NHS.
