Newcastle University has launched its Innovation Support Programme, an initiative which invites applications from VCSE organisations who would like to work with the University on specific projects.
The University is offering funding of £3000 per project. The funding will be allocated on a case by case basis depending on the needs of the project, some may go to the University to cover academic staff time, some may go to the organisation to cover their time, etc.
The University has developed an Expression of Interest (EOI) form for VCSE's to capture initial ideas; they will then work with VCSE's to develop the initial EOI's into more substantial projects.
Completed forms should be sent to kathleen.allen@ncl.ac.uk by 20th September 2017. VCSE organisations can contact Fiona McCusker (VCSE Lead) at fiona.mccusker@ncl.ac.uk to discuss their ideas ahead of submission.
