More information about the Awards

UKRI and Zinc are proud to announce our continued partnership for the Healthy Ageing Catalyst Awards. The Awards fund entrepreneurial researchers who want to translate their research into impactful and sustainable solutions in the Healthy Ageing sector.

Our 3rd cohort started in autumn 2022 and we are now preparing to select our 4th cohort of Awards winners. We're supporting applicants ahead of the call opening early in 2023. Successful applicants will start in September 2023.

Each Awards winner will receive up to £62,500 funding (UKRI funds 80% of your project’s full economic cost, then your research organisation must cover the remaining balance) and benefit from Zinc's proven 9-month programme of support, including workshops, office hours, cohort sessions and individual coaching.
