METRC Short Term Project Funding

Short Term Project Funding is designed to support small research projects to explore the feasibility of innovative new products and processes. In the first stage, funds of up to £3,000 are available to support collaborative projects between METRC’s academic members and industry partners. The funding can be used flexibly at the METRC academic institutions on a range of activities such as project consumables, paying for researchers or some limited consultancy work.

For the most successful projects, funding can be extended into a second stage worth up to an additional £7,000, providing there is a matching contribution from an industrial partner.

The second tranche of METRC's Short Term Project Funding is NOW AVAILABLE to support up to 30 stage 1 projects. We are also currently also accepting applications for stage 2 funding from those projects that were funded previously under the first tranche.
