Dear all,
The Department for Transport (DfT), supported by Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), is piloting a competition that will grant fund novel research of innovative solutions to its key challenges, named the Transport-Technology Research Innovations Grant (T-TRIG). Applications will be accepted from today, with a deadline of midnight on 26 January 2015.
T-TRIG aims to fully-fund short, sharp, potentially ambitious projects that use science, engineering and technology to help facilitate a more efficient transport system in the UK. This new competition is open to all transport challenges, although applicants may wish to align their proposals with the Department’s priorities and policies. Funded projects may also have wider benefits for the Department, such as developing the evidence base for policies or informing decision-making.
To assist potential applicants, KTN will be hosting two briefing webinars, on 6 January 2015 (10:45 to 11:45am) and 7 January 2015 (2:45 to 3:45pm), at which interested parties will have the chance to directly ask the DfT questions about the new competition.
For more details please see:
Department for Transport pulls the T-TRIG on new scheme offering 100% funding to support technology-based solutions for transport challenges.
