The HTSP is an initiative led led by Health Innovation Wessex (HIW)
to support innovators to access the vast network of support available.
For example:
The programme facilitates partnerships development for collaborations between innovators, academia, patients, public and clinicians to develop research teams with the ability to secure funding for innovation in health and care.
The NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme supports the preclinical and clinical development of medical technologies in areas of existing or emerging patient need. During each round, specific funding opportunities will be in focus.
We are currently accepting applications to support innovators to apply for the NIHR – i4i Connect round 9
Connect - Connect aims to help SMEs with experimental proof of concept or laboratory – validated technology to reach the next stage in the development pathway to enable them to apply for further funding, particularly the i4i Product Development Award.
Available funding up to £150,000 over 6-12 months.
If you are an innovator, start-up, small business or established company and believe you could be eligible for one of our open calls, apply now:
To apply: complete our company engagement form and email rosie.mackay@hiwessex.net when it has been completed.

The NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) Programme supports the preclinical and clinical development of medical technologies in areas of existing or emerging patient need. During each round, specific funding opportunities will be in focus. These will largely involve the NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) grant releases:
Product Development Award (PDA) Stage 1 & 2 PDAs - fund the development of disruptive early-stage medical technologies that address existing or emerging healthcare needs. They support translational projects developing medical devices, in vitro diagnostics and digital health technologies that are patient-focused and for ultimate NHS or Social Care use.
Connect - Connect aims to help SMEs reach the next stage in the development pathway to apply for further funding, particularly the i4i Product Development Award.
FAST - FAST (Funding at the Speed of Translation) funding is aimed at innovators in need of a small amount of funding to answer a single specific question to address an evidence gap in developing an innovation.
We are currently accepting applications to support innovators with the NIHR Product Development Award (PDA) call 29: NIHR - i4i - Connect
