   • Has the “size of the market” been quantified and where possible,
     has evidence been given?
   • Is the business need and market realistic and addressable by the
     project?

    subcontracting or travel?
  • Have you articulated and quantified the amount of investment
    required to deliver the project?
Driving Innovation

  Funding – Key points

    Development undertaken in the UK?
  • Have you explained and justified why you are not fully funding the
    project yourselves?
  • Have you explained how the project would be undertaken
    differently with TSB investment?
  • What are the implications of the TSB funding? What does it mean
    to the project, idea and exploitation?

   Funding Criteria (Collaborative R&D)
  • Collaborative... business-led
  • Typically in the category of Applied Research (attracting 50% public funding
    for eligible project costs)
  • Consortium members (within overall project funding levels)
     • Industrial       up to 50%
     • Industrial (SME) up to 60%
     • Academic         100% (of 80% FEC)
Driving Innovation


   What is Collaboration?
   • For two partners - one must undertake at least 30% of the
     work (in terms of eligible cost).


   • For more than two partners - any one partner cannot carry
     out more than 70% of the work (in terms of eligible costs).
Driving Innovation


   What does this mean for the grant?
    The share of the grant can be determined by agreement between the partners
    subject to the following criteria:-
    • The project must be business led, i.e. the lead partner must be a
      business/industry partner.
    • Each industry partner must receive at least 10% grant against their costs.
    • Different maximum funding levels apply for consortium partners
      dependent on their size & type:
         •   Different maximum funding levels for SMEs vs. large organisations
         •   An HEI may receive up to 100% of its costs (based on 80% Full Economic
             Costs.)
    • The project can not request more grant than the total maximum funding
      indicated
         • 50% (collaborative R&D, assuming Applied Research)

                     Finances
Driving Innovation


   Top 3 Financial Issues
        1. Overhead rates –
           • too high, containing ineligible items such as sales and
               marketing expenses, audit costs, etc.
           • not justified – if not using the overhead calculator, you
               must explain how its been calculated
        2. Academic 20% - the difference between FEC and the Grant
           available total generated by Je-S is not a contribution from the
           academic partner.
        3. Software licences supplied by/from project partners or
           collaborators within the project should be priced at the actual
           cost of supplying the software and not at the normal or even
           discounted commercial licence rate.
Driving Innovation


   To reiterate: Total Funding Limits
  •   Up to 75% for Basic Research projects
  •   Up to 50% for Applied Research projects
  •   Up to 25% for Experimental development projects
  •   Business to Business projects(50%, 50%, 25%)

  • Projects can span more than one type, calculate the grant on
    a work package by work package basis.

   Project Management
   • It is up to the consortium to develop and implement a sound
     project management system
   • Implications of project management
      – Ensure that you have identified a suitably experienced
        individual to act as Project Manager
      – Ensure that you have provided them with sufficient time to
        carry out the role, for example:
            A typical 3 year £1m project with 5 partners will need an experienced Project
            Manager with 50% Full Time Equivalent (FTE) available to run the project. (~350 days)
        – Include this resource in the labour costs of the lead partner
Driving Innovation



   Cash Transfers
   • Cash transfers between participants are eligible, but they
     should not increase the size of the project.
   • The donating partner shows a positive value in “Other” cost
     on their finance form.
   • The receiving partner shows an equal negative value in
     “Other” cost on their finance form.
Driving Innovation


  Ineligible Project Costs
   • Input or Output VAT
   • Interest charges, bad debts, profits, advertising, entertainment
   • Hire purchase interest and associated service charges
   • Profit earned by a subsidiary or by an associate undertaking work sub-
     contracted out under the project
   • Inflation and contingency allowances expressed as an overall arbitrary
     percentage
   • The value of existing assets such as IPR, data, software and other
     exploitable assets that are contributed to the project by any collaborator
   • Project Audit Fees
Driving Innovation


  Grant Claims & Payments
   • All grants are claimable quarterly in arrears
   • Claims can only be made for costs incurred and defrayed (amounts
     actually paid, may include partial payments) between the project
     start and end dates
   • All claims will be subject to an independent audit (including all
     academic partners)
   • In most cases audits are required with the first and last claim
   • Claims are only paid once quarterly reporting and necessary audits
     are complete
   • All projects are monitored on a quarterly basis including a visit
     from the appointed Monitoring Officer
   • The monitoring will be carried out against a detailed project plan

                     Academic Costs & Je-S
Driving Innovation


   Why Je-S?
 • The Research Councils Joint Electronic Submission System is
   being used to collect ALL academic finance forms.

 • Also to collect project finance details from non-HEIs (e.g. RTOs)
   that are claiming they are carrying out academic quality work and
   want to be funded on an FEC basis.

 • The Je-S system automates the collection of Full Economic Costs
   (FEC) based costs from academic partners and tells them exactly
   what numbers should be used in the application form for their
   costs.

 • Using Je-S enables Research Councils to easily co-fund Technology
   Programme projects.

  • 35. Driving Innovation Collaboration & Funding Clare Lindsay Competitions Manager
  • 36. Driving Innovation Funding Criteria (Collaborative R&D) • Collaborative... business-led • Typically in the category of Applied Research (attracting 50% public funding for eligible project costs) • Consortium members (within overall project funding levels) • Industrial up to 50% • Industrial (SME) up to 60% • Academic 100% (of 80% FEC)
  • 37. Driving Innovation What is Collaboration? • For two partners - one must undertake at least 30% of the work (in terms of eligible cost). • For more than two partners - any one partner cannot carry out more than 70% of the work (in terms of eligible costs).
  • 38. Driving Innovation What does this mean for the grant? The share of the grant can be determined by agreement between the partners subject to the following criteria:- • The project must be business led, i.e. the lead partner must be a business/industry partner. • Each industry partner must receive at least 10% grant against their costs. • Different maximum funding levels apply for consortium partners dependent on their size & type: • Different maximum funding levels for SMEs vs. large organisations • An HEI may receive up to 100% of its costs (based on 80% Full Economic Costs.) • The project can not request more grant than the total maximum funding indicated • 50% (collaborative R&D, assuming Applied Research)
  • 39. Driving Innovation Finances
  • 40. Driving Innovation Top 3 Financial Issues 1. Overhead rates – • too high, containing ineligible items such as sales and marketing expenses, audit costs, etc. • not justified – if not using the overhead calculator, you must explain how its been calculated 2. Academic 20% - the difference between FEC and the Grant available total generated by Je-S is not a contribution from the academic partner. 3. Software licences supplied by/from project partners or collaborators within the project should be priced at the actual cost of supplying the software and not at the normal or even discounted commercial licence rate.
  • 41. Driving Innovation To reiterate: Total Funding Limits • Up to 75% for Basic Research projects • Up to 50% for Applied Research projects • Up to 25% for Experimental development projects • Business to Business projects(50%, 50%, 25%) • Projects can span more than one type, calculate the grant on a work package by work package basis.
  • 42. Driving Innovation Eligible Costs (Industry Partners) • Labour Costs • Overheads • Materials • New Capital Equipment • Existing Capital Equipment Depreciation • Sub-Contracts • Travel & Subsistence • Other Costs – Other eligible direct costs not included in the above headings, • cash transfers • Contributions in Kind – IP filing costs up to £5,000 (SME only)
  • 43. Driving Innovation Industrial Finance Form (not required for R&D EoI Stage)
  • 44. Driving Innovation Labour Costs
  • 45. Driving Innovation Overheads “Any indirect cost related to the general management and administration of the company necessary for the company to perform the project” Eligible Ineligible Board & senior management – where they Production or service delivery costs – any are not productive / fee earning and are costs associated with the way in which the not included as individuals in the direct company makes its money. This would Labour costs include all items used to calculate gross margin and cost of sale. Admin and support staff – where not included in direct labour costs Marketing and Sales Costs – these again count in the cost of sales Recruitment costs Non-bookable R&D time – non productive General supplies and IT – not linked to time or non-chargeable time of technical production or service delivery or support personnel Corporate fees and expenses – auditing, IPR Entertainment and Hospitality maintenance, insurance, photocopying New IP protection costs Site expenses – building rental, taxes, security and cleaning Any headings that are being charged for directly within the project – such as Utilities – careful not to include production training, T&S equipment energy or supply costs
  • 46. Driving Innovation Overheads Calculation Option 1 – Use the calculator provided on the finance form Option 2* – provide an equivalently detailed explanation and breakdown of your own methodology
  • 47. Driving Innovation Material Costs
  • 48. Driving Innovation Capital Equipment Costs
  • 49. Driving Innovation Sub-Contract Costs
  • 50. Driving Innovation Travel & Subsistence Costs
  • 51. Driving Innovation Other Costs
  • 52. Driving Innovation WBBA Costs
  • 53. Driving Innovation Project Management • It is up to the consortium to develop and implement a sound project management system • Implications of project management – Ensure that you have identified a suitably experienced individual to act as Project Manager – Ensure that you have provided them with sufficient time to carry out the role, for example: A typical 3 year £1m project with 5 partners will need an experienced Project Manager with 50% Full Time Equivalent (FTE) available to run the project. (~350 days) – Include this resource in the labour costs of the lead partner
  • 54. Driving Innovation Cash Transfers • Cash transfers between participants are eligible, but they should not increase the size of the project. • The donating partner shows a positive value in “Other” cost on their finance form. • The receiving partner shows an equal negative value in “Other” cost on their finance form.
  • 55. Driving Innovation Ineligible Project Costs • Input or Output VAT • Interest charges, bad debts, profits, advertising, entertainment • Hire purchase interest and associated service charges • Profit earned by a subsidiary or by an associate undertaking work sub- contracted out under the project • Inflation and contingency allowances expressed as an overall arbitrary percentage • The value of existing assets such as IPR, data, software and other exploitable assets that are contributed to the project by any collaborator • Project Audit Fees
  • 56. Driving Innovation Grant Claims & Payments • All grants are claimable quarterly in arrears • Claims can only be made for costs incurred and defrayed (amounts actually paid, may include partial payments) between the project start and end dates • All claims will be subject to an independent audit (including all academic partners) • In most cases audits are required with the first and last claim • Claims are only paid once quarterly reporting and necessary audits are complete • All projects are monitored on a quarterly basis including a visit from the appointed Monitoring Officer • The monitoring will be carried out against a detailed project plan
  • 57. Driving Innovation Academic Costs & Je-S
  • 58. Driving Innovation Why Je-S? • The Research Councils Joint Electronic Submission System is being used to collect ALL academic finance forms. • Also to collect project finance details from non-HEIs (e.g. RTOs) that are claiming they are carrying out academic quality work and want to be funded on an FEC basis. • The Je-S system automates the collection of Full Economic Costs (FEC) based costs from academic partners and tells them exactly what numbers should be used in the application form for their costs. • Using Je-S enables Research Councils to easily co-fund Technology Programme projects.
  • 59. Driving Innovation Submission Research Office HoD R.O P.I. Submission to meet deadline Submitter Pool Je-S Acceptance Je-S Output Form ‘with Council’ status Technology Strategy Board
  • 60. Driving Innovation Eligible Costs (Academic Partners) • Eligible costs are based on FEC calculation • RC Contribution is the total eligible cost of academic partners. • The 20% difference between this and the FEC total DOES NOT represent a contribution to the project and should not be included anywhere within the application.
