Funding opportunity: BBSRC Follow-on Fund: 2025 round two

Apply for Follow-on Funding (FoF) to bridge the gap between bioscience research and achieving economic and societal benefit.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding.

Follow-on Funding (FoF) applications must draw substantially on current or prior BBSRC funding.

FoF awards progress discoveries to a stage where the route to practical application is clear.

The full economic cost (FEC) of your project can be up to £800,000. BBSRC will fund 80% of the FEC.

FoF awards support defined programmes of work for up to two years.
