Harmonised Impact Acceleration Account (IAA)

Call currently closed.

Projects should address a clearly identified unmet societal need, challenge or opportunity by combining research from the listed council remits. Applicants must justify why it is necessary to collaborate across research council remits and demonstrate that the proposal brings together the capabilities, expertise, and resources necessary to meet project aims.

 

As examples, the six following projects were awarded in the previous round of the Harmonised IAA Call:

 

  • Javier Escudero/Jay Shetty & Alfredo Gonzalez-Sulser

A solution for remote seizure detection to provide cost-effective and timely healthcare

 

  • Karen Halliday/Elliot Crowley

Crop shade optimisation model

 

  • Gregor Gorjanc/Julian Hall

  • Rachel O'Neill/Peter Bell

Automatic transcripts for deaf pupils

 

  • Qiang Wang/Ahsan Akram

If looking for an ESRC remit collaborator the SHAPE in innovation portal signposts social science and humanities expertise in innovation at the University.

 

Applicants can still apply for individual BBSRC IAA, ESRC IAA, EPSRC IAA, and MRC IAA, and existing recipients can still apply for this additional funding for a different collaborative project

 

What is the application timeline?
