How does it work?
Finding the right academic support for your product development can be challenging. GW-SHIFT not only offers a single route through to leading academics, but it can also provide grant writing funding to develop winning bids for grants such as Innovate UK calls. It is proven that grant proposals with academic input and grant writing support have a success rate of well over 30% compared to 10% or lower, which is the norm.
