Engineering Biology Collaborative R&D
Innovate UK (United Kingdom)
Budget of £8.5 million. The amount range applies to TOTAL eligible costs, not the grant amount — this is a common misunderstanding. A British company leads, at least one SME must claim support, and no partner may account for more than 70% of the costs. Marine biomass and seaweed are not mentioned as a separate theme, but bio-based processing may fit.
From idea to completed grant — five steps
- Describe the idea. Company name and a few sentences about the project — registration number and sector are fetched from the registry.
- Check your chances. Granteon assesses the project against the criteria in Engineering Biology Collaborative R&D and tells you honestly whether it can be won — before you write.
- Write the application. The AI writes from your own facts, scores the draft like an award committee, and delivers it field by field within the portal's character limits.
- Complete the financing. Your own contribution is calculated. You can obtain a signed conditional commitment from an investor, and find consortium partners when the call requires them.
- Deliver and report. Reporting plan, draft reports and budget tracking after the award — until the final report is filed.
