Description

UKRI wishes to establish a Contract to appoint a partner to support delivery of an early-stage commercialisation catalyst for social science, arts and humanities (AHSS) researchers who have ideas with the potential to develop into an impactful, scalable commercial product or service.

Total Quantity or Scope

ESRC and AHRC are investing up to £3.9M in up to five competitions over three years, starting in March 2023. ESRC and AHRC expect to make up to 75 Catalyst awards in this timeframe. In any one year the maximum awarded will be 35. The grants allow researchers to start to develop a commercial service, product, process or other innovation from a strong research base. Delivery partners will be expected to support and enable AHSS researchers to consider how they can commercially sustain or grow impact from their research; provide support and training for commercialisation of AHSS activities; have a robust process to agree successful catalyst grants; and ensure appropriate and agreed reporting back to ESRC and AHRC which include UKRI Commercialisation Framework Principles at all stages of the work.
