This funding will develop an integrated research and innovation programme to deliver UK research capacity and capability, drive technology development and uptake, and stimulate innovation to tackle major challenges through a mission focus. To unlock the full potential of Engineering Biology, we will adopt a missions approach. Each mission will set inspiring and stretching targets which focus the efforts of academia, industry and other partners, on complex problems which require a coordinated approach for successful delivery.

Each application to this funding opportunity must be focused on at least one of the following four Engineering Biology mission areas: 1. Engineering biology for food systems; 2. Engineering biology for biomedicine; 3. Engineering biology for clean growth; 4. Engineering biology for environmental solutions.

This opportunity will be open to eligible researchers at: higher education institutions research council institutes approved independent research organisations public sector research establishments Principal and co-investigators must meet our standard eligibility criteria.
