In this session, the UK Food Safety Research Network will provide information on the Priority Areas that form the basis for the first Call for Proposals and Expressions of Interest.

Sessions will include a Q&A component for interested applicants to ask questions about the nature and requirements of the call. The two planned webinar sessions will both be recorded for those unable to attend, and key findings from the Q&A session will be used to update  FAQ.

This call has two streams applications: for projects that are ready to be rapidly funded and initiated (Stream A), as well as an opportunity to put forward an expression of interest for project ideas that are not yet fully formed and that will be developed in subsequent Network community forums (Stream B).

These awards are being made to:

• establish a new relationship or extend relationships between food industry, food and health policymakers and academia; and/or
• improve interactions between the collaborating partners, and/or;
• lead to new research and innovation projects and activity relevant to the Network’s remit.

We understand that a barrier to innovation can be a complex and lengthy application process. At the outset we have streamlined the amount of information needed to review projects and to broker partnerships, and for those applications that are successful, we will provide ongoing and tailored support to project teams within the first (and subsequent) funding cohort(s).

The application period closes 3 October, with an anticipated date for successful notices on 17 October 2022.
