Details
The Life Sciences Transformational R&D Investment Fund (TRIF) pilot is a newly established £50 million capital grant opportunity.
The fund supports major R&D investments in the UK Life Sciences sector to:
- drive innovation
- enhance health resilience
- deliver economic benefits
Projects with a total cost (including capital expenditure) of at least £100 million are eligible to apply.
How the grant will be awarded
The grant awarded is set at the minimum level necessary to ensure your project proceeds while adhering to UK subsidy regulations - typically ranging from 10-20% of total project costs. For example, a project with a total cost of £100 million would generally receive a grant of £10-20 million.
While the TRIF Pilot is focused on large-scale transformative R&D investments, we recognise the importance of supporting a diverse range of projects. We aspire, in the long term, to potentially expand the programme to broaden the offer and accommodate smaller-scale investments in future phases of the scheme.
How to apply
You can apply on the Life Sciences Transformational R&D Investment Fund pilot application page. The competition is open until 31 March 2028, (11:59pm).
This fund works alongside the separate Life Sciences Innovative Manufacturing Fund (LSIMF).
