The NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) Programme is launching the FAST (Funding At the Speed of Translation) September 2025 funding opportunity. FAST is aimed at innovators in need of a small amount of funding to answer a specific question or to fund a single piece of activity to advance healthcare technologies and interventions for increased patient benefit. Awards are designed to address an evidence gap and innovations must have demonstrated experimental proof of concept as a minimum.
For more information, please visit the i4i page.
