About CADDA Knowledge Transfer Vouchers
CADDA Knowledge Transfer Vouchers (CKTVs) provide co-funded pump-priming awards to support collaborative research and innovation across the diagnostics pipeline. Projects must involve at least one industry or SME partner and one academic partner, and are designed to accelerate the development, validation, and translation of innovative diagnostics towards real-world application and commercialisation.
Projects may request up to £50,000 and should demonstrate clear collaboration between academic and industrial partners, with the aim of progressing diagnostics technologies along the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) pathway.
Applications are only accepted from members of the CADDA Community of Practice (CoP).
