In that time we have 11,000 projects 70,000 jobs created And a return on investment of up to £7.30 for every £1 invested. Cross cutting nature within Innovate UK From health and life sciences themes Across into high value manufacturing themes.
- *Health Warning* Content a little dry, so feel free to ask any burning questions. The Digital Health Technology Catalyst is a new £35m funding programme to be run over 4 years, with the first competition now open. I will refer to it during the presentation as DHTC for short. The DHTC, which is largely based on the highly successful BioMedical Catalyst is being funded through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund and was a recommendation of the Accelerated Access Review. The goals are aligned with those of the National Information Board. address specific market failures so that the digital health sector can grow deliver transformative, cost-effective technologies to patients more quickly [The role of the National Information Board is to put data and technology safely to work for patients, service users, citizens and the professionals who serve them. The NIB brings together national health and care organisations from the NHS, public health, clinical science, social care and local government, along with appointed independent representatives to develop the strategic priorities for data and technology.]
- This new catalyst scheme has been designed to support SMEs developing innovative health solutions underpinned by digital technology. Digital health is evolving at a rapid pace and this is having a profound impact on healthcare delivery. Digital health uses data and technology to: - improve patient outcomes; improve access to healthcare; make more targeted and personalised health interventions; transform service delivery; and to deliver new treatments and translational medicine My intention is to make the DHTC an agile initiative, learning from competitions, stakeholders and the digital health environment and adapting as we go. With this being the first DHTC call, we have deliberately gone with a broad scope as you will see further in the presentation. [Read new text]
- There are two types of awards in this round: feasibility; and industrial research & experimental development. You may already be familiar with these terms from our Funding Rules, but it is critical you pay careful attention to the specific criteria specified for the awards in the guidance for this round – and every subsequent round. Catalyst schemes have a broad over-arching goal but the scope of every award within a Catalyst is different, so you need to look at the criteria to decide which specific award is most suitable for you. I will run through the Eligibility criteria for each award first then cover the scope for each separately. READ SLIDE – drop in text separately
- Feasibility awards allow you to explore and evaluate the commercial potential of an innovative digital health idea. The next two slides explain the scope of the Feasibility award in this round. [Read slide] [continues on next slide]

- As I mentioned earlier with this being the first Digital Health Technology Catalyst we have gone very broad and we are looking for a wide base of projects under-pinned by digital technologies. The types of approaches we will fund include: read from slide
- It is very important that as well as looking at the specific scope for each of the individual awards, you take note of what is NOT in scope when you consider whether you should prepare an application. We regularly receive applications for competitions which are out of scope or which do not fit within the relevant eligibility criteria, which is frustrating for all concerned. Just to clarify the double negative here: all projects MUST HAVE digital technology as the project core We won’t fund projects which [read last 3]
- Whichever award you decide to apply for, please remember: Read from slide Helen: can only apply for one in this round? Can apply for other Catalyst as well? Can only apply with same project twice to any Innovate UK competition
- Just to re-iterate, industrial research and experimental projects must be collaborative and we highly encourage collaboration with an NHS organisation.
- Here’s a final summary of the eligibility criteria for each of the awards in this round.
- Under our new system there is no separate deadline for registration, just a deadline for submitting your application. This is a NOON deadline and we don’t make exceptions for people with technical issues or any other reason for missing the deadline. Do not leave it to the last day to apply as traffic on the website is high and Customer Support will be very busy. No exceptions so don’t risk leaving it until the last minute. Upload early, and double-check that all your documents including JeS forms (for academic collaborators) have been uploaded, by logging out and logging back in again and checking they show on your ftp upload list.
