Tools and resources development fund: call 2

To support for development of bioinformatics tools and computational approaches to the biosciences

Funding total

£1.5M.

Number of projects funded

13.

Purpose

To pump prime the next generation of tools, technologies and resources that will be required by bioscience researchers in scientific areas within BBSRC's remit.

Key aims

This call is intended to:

• Support small or short-duration, pump-priming (pilot) projects that enable excellent bioscience
• Encourage the development of novel software tools, technologies and computational methods for research challenges within our remit (see our strategic priorities in related links)
• Help underpin research in the wider biosciences

It is important that applications demonstrated appropriate collaborative connections, and relevance to the generation of important new biological knowledge.
