BBSRC follow-on fund and super follow-on fund

Apply for follow on funding (FoF) to help bridge gaps between early-stage bioscience research and innovation and achieving wider commercial, economic and societal benefit.

Both awards aim to take ideas through to a stage where the route to application is clear:

• Standard FoF awards support up to two years’ work. Applications are assessed by an independent panel: min £76,000, max £250,000 (FEC).
• Super FoF awards are similar, with higher funding levels. Applications are also reviewed by independent experts (some may be peers) prior to panel: min £251,000, max £800,000 (FEC).

Applications can involve more than one research organisation but must be led by the principal investigator’s research organisation and be eligible for BBSRC funding.
