1 GLOBAL CHALLENGES RESEARCH FUND TRANSLATION AWARDS GUIDANCE NOTES Closing Date: 25th October Background The Global Challenges Research Funding (GCRF) is a 5-year 1.5Bn resource stream to enable UK research to play a leading role in addressing the challenges faced by developing nations. The GCRF will deploy the UK s world-class research capability to address the challenges faced by the developing world. The funding is protected science spend and the Research Councils are primary delivery partners. The GCRF is also part of the UK Government s pledge to allocate 0.7% of Gross National Income to Official Development Assistance, promoting the welfare and economic development of developing countries. 1.1 Project Scale and Duration BBSRC anticipates supporting 7-10 projects for up to a maximum cost of 80,000 ( 64,000 BBSRC contribution at 80% full economic cost (FEC)) each, with a duration of up to 18 months (all projects will have a fixed end date, 30 th September 2019). 2. Scope Projects funded through this Call will build on current or previous research grants and enable research outputs to be further developed into practical application to deliver benefit and impact in developing countries. At the end of the project, a route to application could include informing know-how and practices, a licensing agreement with a third party, the development of a spin-out company or social enterprise. Since the strength of the relationship between users and researchers is often what underpins the likelihood of success of any translational, knowledge exchange or commercialisation activity, it is essential that users are closely involved in both the development and delivery of a proposal s work programme. 1

2 2.1 Enabling Innovation in Developing Countries All research funded through the GCRF Translation Awards Call will form part of the UK s Official Development Assistance (ODA) which is monitored by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Therefore, research proposals submitted to this Call should clearly demonstrate that the primary purpose is to promote the economic development and welfare of Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) on the DAC list of ODA recipients as its main objective (available at here). Proposals that do not clearly articulate how the proposed research will address nearterm or long-term benefits to the welfare or prosperity of LMICs will be rejected. Guidance on ODA definitions and interpretation is available in the OECD factsheet Is it ODA? Applicants should: Seek to translate previously funded research by investigating a specific problem or seek a specific outcome which will have an impact on a developing country on the DAC list; Provide evidence as to why this is a problem for the developing country or countries; Address the issue identified effectively and efficiently; Use the strengths of the UK to address the issue, working in collaboration with others as appropriate; Identify appropriate pathways to impact to ensure that the developing country benefits from the research. For those projects where the activities focused upon a DAC list country or countries could lead to commercialisation, the application must demonstrate that the developing country or countries have existing or potential ability to grow industry (or other relevant sector). It is not normally acceptable for the commercialisation of research to take place solely in developed countries, unless there is a clear plan to build new businesses or business growth in the developing country or countries. 2

3 2.2 Aims The Aims of the GCRF Translation Awards are to: Increase and accelerate the uptake and practical application of past Research Council funded research outputs to deliver benefit and impact in an ODA context; Address challenges directly faced by developing countries, specifically with the primary purpose to promote the economic development and welfare of Low and / or Middle Income Countries (LMIC) on the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of ODA recipients; Enable researchers to further develop their understanding of potential routes to impact, including identifying opportunities, key stakeholders and enablers; Develop sustainable partnerships with overseas partners in developing countries with a view to deliver benefit through future opportunities, including GCRF and Newton Fund competitions; Support small scale translation activities, including collaborative projects with business and other users. The Call is designed to be flexible to encourage applicants to be innovative in their approach to accelerating the uptake of research by users through translational and knowledge exchange activities. The GCRF Translation Awards Call will fund activities that aim to achieve outcomes that deliver impact. Proposals for translational and knowledge exchange activities are welcomed across the BBSRC Remit. Applications to this Call should have a primary focus on the translation of research and / or knowledge, and the following are ineligible: Projects focused solely on delivering training Projects which only involve / engage the academic community or between the research base and the general public New research 3

4 2.3 Working with In-country Partners GCRF will deploy world-class research within the UK to address the challenges faced by the developing world and whilst working in partnership with LMICs is strongly encouraged, although not mandatory, to ensure the research will have an appropriate pathway to impact. It is recognised that research strategies and the approach to partnership and capability development will vary significantly, depending on whether the research is oriented towards / conducted with LMICs. In-country partners might also include global agencies and research organisations such as the CGIAR centres. Regulation and ethical issues will vary across different countries and should be considered from the outset where work is focused in a particular country. Researchers funded by this Call will be expected to work within applicable international and local guidelines, and to obtain ethical review in the local country(ies) and in the UK. 2.4 Working with Business Applications that are collaborations with business are welcomed, particularly where support is leveraged, as cash or in-kind. Further details on working with business can be found via BBSRC Grants Guide. Detail regarding the collaboration will be required, with section 2.13 of the BBSRC Grants Guide providing further information 3. Programme Requirements 3.1 Key Dates and Funding Applications must be made through the RCUK Je-S system. This Call opens in Je-S on the 25 th September 2017 and will close at (local UK time) on 25 th October All successful proposals will have a fixed end date where all projects must be finished by no later than 30th September Eligibility This Call is open to researchers meeting BBSRC eligibility rules as set out in Section 3 of the BBSRC Grants Guide. 4

5 GCRF Translation Awards Call grants may be held at the following organisations, providing they are eligible to receive BBSRC research funding: approved UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), approved Research Institutes (RIs) and approved Independent Research Organisations (IROs) 1. Investigators may only participate in one application to this initiative as a Principal Investigator, but may be involved in more applications as a Co-Investigator. Applications must build on the outputs of recent or previous BBSRC-funded research activity, or build on another Research Council-funded research activity which falls within BBSRC remit. The case for support should outline this previous funding (and how it meets these criteria where it was funded by another Research Council). Non-eligible partners (including those from overseas organisations) may be included, as described in Section 2 of the BBSRC Grants Guide, under Collaborative Research Grants. As per standard BBSRC eligibility rules, funding for overseas applicants is not permitted; however for proposals undertaking work in a DAC listed country, it is expected that the project team will conduct activities in the target country as appropriate, and work closely with the relevant overseas organisations and users. Overseas partners from developing countries are, however, welcomed on proposals and should be included on the application as project partners (see point 3.3 below). 1 Full details of approved RIs and IROs can be found on the RCUK website. Further information is also in the BBSRC Grants Guide. 5

6 The DAC list of ODA recipients is due for review in 2017 and some countries may graduate from this list as part of that process (currently Antigua and Barbuda, Chile and Uruguay). If the focus of a proposal is benefiting a DAC country which is likely to graduate within the time frame of the project (peer review and project duration) then the proposal should be developed to show how it both contributes towards the economic development and welfare of that country and also articulate a broader applicability to other DAC countries. 3.3 Project Partners and users Successful projects are those that generate sustainable outcomes and impact. In order to achieve this, all GCRF Translation Awards projects must involve users as project partners and they should be engaged by the applicant in the co-creation of the project at the earliest possible point, defining the issues to be addressed, the project objectives, and the specification of outputs, ensuring value and utility to the users. Providing evidence to this effect is essential. This should help ensure the project s activities are impactful and sustainable. Applicants must provide the names of these project partner organisations (and their representatives) in the Project Partner section of the Je-S form. Private, public or third-sector organisations or institutions with an interest that falls within BBSRC's remit are eligible to be considered as users in the context of this Call. These include: private industry, public bodies (such as government departments, local government, regulatory authorities, etc.) and non-government organisations or charities. Research Council Institutes and HEIs are not eligible as users. Where a project partner is actively involved in the proposed work (for example through contributing staff, time, money, facilities etc.) and has a clear input to the process in order to maximise the quality of the project activity, details of the contribution should be provided in the Project Partners section. The stability of the organisation and if appropriate, the commitment of funds (or in-kind contribution) should also be guaranteed for the duration of the proposed activity in a Letter of Support from the project partner. Recognising that proposals enabling innovation in developing countries will involve overseas project partners, travel and subsistence 6

7 resource to support their involvement can be requested as part of the application. This can be requested at 100% fec (see Section 4.1). Applications should explain how any stakeholder collaboration and knowledge exchange activities strengthen the progression to impact and likelihood or scale of beneficial outcomes. This should include any specific commitments from institutions or enterprises from the UK or developing countries to adopt or apply outcomes of the research, and where appropriate it is helpful to outline how this enhances local innovation and research capacity at an individual, institutional or whole system level. For more information on Project Partners, please refer to the Annex Intellectual Property (IP) and Collaborative Work Arrangements Collaborative agreements must be put in place to enable all parties to better understand their roles on the grant and to clarify the IP rights (IPR) position. BBSRC does not need to see these but applicants are advised to carefully consider these arrangements and discuss and agree them where necessary with project partners in developing the grant proposal, in order to protect their best interests. University and business collaboration support tools including the Lambert toolkit can be accessed via the Intellectual Property Office. Applicants are also strongly advised to contact their Technology Transfer Office (or equivalent) for advice and support. BBSRC will make awards on the understanding that the project partner will commit the resources to the project as described in their Letter of Support. Where such commitment cannot be fulfilled BBSRC expects that equivalent support and resources will be found in the duration of the project. 3.5 Ethics The Research Organisation is responsible for ensuring that ethical issues relating to the project are identified and brought to the attention of the relevant approval or regulatory body. Approval to undertake the research must be granted before any work requiring approval begins. For full guidance please refer to the BBSRC Grants Guide Animal use 7

8 All applications proposing to use animals overseas should refer to the RCUK Guidance and ensure they include a signed statement (Letter of Support) from both UK and overseas PIs, indicating that they have fully and appropriately considered this animal usage. It would be a condition of funding that this work meets the standards expected in the UK (not just local ethical approvals). Please refer to the grants guide for details of how to ensure an appropriate contractor is chosen ( Applicants should refer to the BBSRC Grants Guide (section 4) for full details of information required in the JeS application, including (but not limited to) details of species, experimental design, sample size justification, welfare and enrichment Where applicants propose to use rodents overseas, they should follow the overseas rodent use guidance (RCUK Guidance) and ensure the appropriate form is uploaded to JeS. 8

10 Official Development Assistance (ODA) Statement Other Documents including, where appropriate, a market assessment report Applications should be prepared and submitted by the lead research organisation (RO), but should be co-created with input from all investigators and project partners, and should represent the proposed work of the entire consortia. Applications should largely be completed in the normal way, following the guidance in Annex 1 and the Je-S Handbook, and noting the following additional information specific to this call: Joint proposals: Joint proposals are not permitted for this call. Applications may involve eligible co-investigators at other eligible ROs, but this should be included on a single application, submitted by the lead RO. Project Partners: All projects should have project partners from stakeholder organisations (i.e. business, policy or civil society). Please complete this section for each project partner involved in the project providing details of the contributions and support (both cash and in-kind) which the partner will make to the project. Cash and in-kind contributions from the project partner should be carefully costed to ensure there is no double counting. Access to data already freely available in the public domain cannot be counted as in-kind support and care should be taken so as not to over-value in-kind contributions. Resources: A maximum project cost of 80,000 can be requested per project, inclusive of any resources requested to support the involvement of the overseas project partner(s). Costs should largely be requested at 80% fec in the normal way, with the following exception: o As an exception to the standard BBSRC guidance, for this particular call overseas project partners may request at 100% fec; travel and subsistence costs, and exceptionally other directly incurred / incidental costs (such as consumables, material costs, etc) directly relating to their involvement in the project. These costs should not represent the majority of the resources 10

11 requested, and may not include any staff costs or overheads. These costs should be included within the appropriate section of the resources section, with the Exception box ticked against these items. Beneficiary Countries: please ensure that you select the relevant country from the DAC list of ODA recipients which your project proposes to work with. Please ensure that you only select countries from the DAC list. 4.2 Confidentiality and Disclosure BBSRC takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the contents of applications for GCRF Translation Awards are treated as confidential. Applicants must ensure that the title and summary of the proposed project are worded in such a way as to protect commercially confidential or sensitive areas, as project summaries and personal data from the first page of successful applications will normally be transferred to publicly available databases. The following details will be transferred for all funded projects: title and project summary institution name(s) of applicant(s) name of any project partners the value of the award start and end dates and duration of the award BBSRC must be notified in writing at the application stage if you do not wish personal data or information that could affect Intellectual Property Rights to be transferred to the databases. Applicants must abide by the principles of good scientific practice. 4.3 Data Protection Grants submitted via JeS are done so under their Terms and Conditions. 4.4 Conditions of Award 11

12 Unless superseded by the call conditions, grants will be awarded under standard Research Council Research Grant RCUK Terms and Conditions 4.5 Monitoring and Reporting Requirements The awarded organisation will be required to report at the end of the award using a reporting template, which included quantitative measures alongside a narrative which details progress against objectives and milestones. The Report must be submitted to BBSRC within three months of the end date of the award. In addition to the end of award reporting, the outcomes and impacts from GCRF Translation Awards should be reported to researchfish against the Research Council grant(s) with which they are associated. In addition, the GCRF Translation Awards should be reported as Further Funding in researchfish against these Research Council grant(s). The awarded organisation, investigators and their partners must assist BBSRC with any additional reporting and evaluation requirements requested by the department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), and / or its partners. After completion of the grant, the Research Council may wish to authorise an affiliate organisation to contact the grant holder on its behalf. 12

13 5. Assessment Criteria Proposals will be will be assessed by an independent panel of experts and will be assessed on the following criteria: Fit to Call GCRF Translation Awards grant applications must satisfy BBSRC on the following: The project is based on a sound understanding of the market or society needs and opportunity. The proposed work programme is robust and designed to optimise the economic and / or societal benefit derived from the grant. Applicants must also demonstrate that their proposal is focused upon outcomes that promote the long-term sustainable growth, economic development and welfare of developing countries as its main objective. Excellence Excellence in this context is based upon the potential impact of the proposed translational and knowledge exchange or commercialisation activities, as appropriate to the country of focus (i.e. DAC list country). This assessment will be based upon consideration of the following factors: Outcomes (not just outputs) and benefits Strength of user involvement Mechanisms for delivery of outcomes and potential impacts Sustainability Research quality is not a part of the assessment criteria, but projects based upon high quality research are more likely to have a high impact. Applicants should note that translation, knowledge exchange or commercialisation activities with one or multiple users are potentially equally valid. However, unless clear justification can be provided for the involvement of only a single user (particularly where multiple users would benefit), there is a risk that the proposal may be considered as contract / consultancy work rather than translation and knowledge exchange. 13
