PoP Plus
We are pleased to announce the launch of the PoP Plus Fund, an exciting funding opportunity designed to support projects that have high commercial potential. The PoP Plus Fund will provide extended financial support to help these projects progress along the translational pathway, with the aim of achieving real-world impact.
Purpose of the PoP Plus Fund:
- Provide substantial funding for commercial projects
- Support projects through longer funding periods than traditional PoP, to progress TRL development
- Help bridge the gap between university research and commercial application
