Ongoing Research

Genesis supports research activity through a number of different mechanisms.

BBSRC funds

The BBSRC is providing the Genesis Faraday Partnership with £1M of research funding. Part of this sum is allocated to fund three BBSRC CASE studentships in each of the first three years of the Faraday.

Genesis Faraday will also help allocate £640k of 'ear-marked' BBSRC funds to support high quality research in the area of Farm Animal Genetics and Genomics.

Other Research opportunities

Genesis Faraday SPARK Awards aim to encourage new collaborations between Small & Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and the research community.

Genesis has a major role in facilitating access to all national and international funding opportunities. This includes, but is not limited to, LINK and Foresight LINK Awards, Research Council/DTI initiatives, EU programmes (e.g. FP6).

Our Technology Translators are building a collaborative network of organisations. They drive and administer the proposal application, mentoring applicants through the process and can support the financial and general administration of the programmes.

Genesis Faraday Staff have years of experience of LINK funding mechanisms and a strong track record of successful applications.
