Health Technologies Connectivity Awards: round two

Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)

Apply for funding to spend time in a different research or user environment to build new connections applicable to health technologies. Novel engineering and physical sciences (EPS) research contributing to the delivery of the health technologies strategy must comprise a proportion of the placement.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding.

In this scheme, researchers will develop new skills and collaborations to progress their research in health technologies.

The full economic cost (FEC) of your project can be up to £500,000. EPSRC will fund 80% of the FEC.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. 🎯 Strong Alignment with EPSRC Research Themes

EPSRC prioritizes research that fits within its strategic themes:

Engineering – advanced materials, manufacturing, systems engineering

Digital Economy – AI, data science, cybersecurity, ICT

Physical Sciences – chemistry, physics, materials science

Mathematical Sciences – applied maths, statistics, computational modelling

Energy & Sustainability – renewable energy, climate tech, circular economy

Healthcare Technologies – medical devices, imaging, computational biology

✅ Success Predictor: The proposal addresses a priority area or fits EPSRC’s Delivery Plan goals (innovation, impact, partnerships).

2. 🧠 Novelty and Transformative Potential

Successful applications usually:

Present high-risk, high-reward ideas

Propose novel methodologies or technologies

Show potential for major impact on UK research/industry

✅ Success Predictor: The project has a clear case for novelty and transformative outcomes.

3. 🤝 Collaboration and Industry Engagement

EPSRC places high value on:

Interdisciplinary collaboration (e.g., academia + industry + government)

Partnerships with SMEs, large companies, or public sector bodies

Plans for knowledge transfer or commercialization

✅ Success Predictor: The proposal includes strong academic-industry partnerships and pathways to real-world application.

4. 📚 Track Record and Institutional Strength

Previous EPSRC or UKRI funding is a strong predictor

Applicants often have high-impact publications, PhD supervision experience, and prior collaborations

Institutions with CDTs, IAA funding, or strategic EPSRC links have an advantage

✅ Success Predictor: The PI and team have proven research excellence and capacity to deliver.

5. 💡 Impact Plan and Alignment with UK Priorities

EPSRC reviewers place emphasis on:

Pathways to Impact – economic, societal, or industrial benefits

Contribution to UK Net Zero goals, AI leadership, or healthcare innovation

Support for skills development and diversity in STEM

✅ Success Predictor: The proposal has clear beneficiaries and impact beyond academia.
