At the UK Food Safety Research Network (FSRN), we are pleased to announce a new funding opportunity.
This FSRN funding call is themed around Research Priority Area 4: Food Safety at Home and is a rapid call for new or existing collaborationss on food safety between researchers and food businesses that can be delivered by 24 March 2025. Activities can include small collaborative research projects that are demonstrational or translational, or events that support the formation of functional communities and partnerships that are pursuing knowledge exchange, new capabilities, or new funding models.
The FSRN welcomes project ideas from partnerships formed from across the food sector, including from primary producers, retailers, through to policy organisations and academics.
Funding is available for current FSRN members and must represent a new collaboration between an academic lead applicant eligible to receive BBSRC funding and at least one non-academic partner. Anyone can join the UK Food Safety Research Network for free.
Multiple academic and non-academic partners are encouraged where it benefits the project.
£1K to £10K is available in this call and we anticipate funding around ten projects.
Applications for the funding close on 14 November 2024 and the funded activity must be complete by 24 March 2025.
