R&D support
Our consultants have a wealth of experience in identifying the most appropriate sources of finance for research and development (R&D) projects. We also provide assistance with proposals for EU framework funding.
Project assessment: We can help scope your project requirements and make sure you are exploiting the most appropriate range of funding sources.
Sources of finance: The range of R&D grants is confusing and the application processes can be complex. Our in-depth knowledge of the European Commission’s Framework Programme can significantly improve your chances of making a successful application, while we can also match your skills to R&D projects that require partners. We also help clients with funding applications including Proof of Concept Funding, Smart Awards and ESPRC grants.
Partner searching: We have developed a number of techniques for specialised partner searching. We undertake consortium building directly, by utilising networks and contacts to build partnerships capable of delivering high level projects and also provide tailored partnering opportunities to clients.
Proposal preparation: With years of experience in assisting clients with successful funding applications, our consultants will guide you through the process and maximise your chances of winning financial support for your R&D projects.
In Yorkshire and Northwest England RTC North manages regional contact points to help organisations access funding through the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
