Funding for advancing precision medicine: round 2

Up to £20 million is available for developing digital tools for diagnosis and stratification of chronic conditions

Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, will invest up to £20 million, over two rounds of this competition, in industry-led collaborative R&D innovation projects. Up to £10 million has been allocated to this round of the competition.

The competition will fund projects aiming to develop digital and data-enabled tools as well as multi-modal approaches for more accurate diagnosis and treatment stratification.

The aim of this competition is to award innovation projects that focus on novel digital and data-enabled tools to:

• more accurately diagnose conditions and stratify patients to the most appropriate treatments
• increase the application of integrated and multi-modal approaches to determine risk and diagnosis and to predict prognostic outcomes

Your proposal must demonstrate how it addresses an unmet clinical need or responds to NHS demand signalling.

This is round 2 of a two-round competition:

• round 1 closed in March, and focused on musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions excluding oncology
• round 2 (this round) will focus on oncology, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions
