Our grant consultation service is designed to establish whether your project is a strong fit for available funding programmes, such as Innovate UK competitions. We assess the scope, technical maturity, duration and collaboration requirements to ensure alignment with scheme criteria.
During consultation, we work with you to position the problem, approach and novelty of your project in line with assessor expectations. We also review the project structure, defining work packages, milestones and dependencies, and identifying the evidence required for supporting documents such as Gantt charts and risk registers. Many competitions require these elements in a prescribed format for upload through the Innovation Funding Service.
In addition, we carry out early compliance checks covering ethics, standards, intellectual property and export considerations, ensuring that your application is prepared on a sound foundation. This structured approach gives you a clear understanding of eligibility and the documentation needed for a competitive submission.
