The Life Sciences Transformational R&D Investment Fund (TRIF) pilot is a newly established £50 million capital grant opportunity.

The fund supports major R&D investments in the UK Life Sciences sector to:

Projects with a total cost (including capital expenditure) of at least £100 million are eligible to apply.

The grant awarded is set at the minimum level necessary to ensure your project proceeds while adhering to UK subsidy regulations - typically ranging from 10-20% of total project costs. For example, a project with a total cost of £100 million would generally receive a grant of £10-20 million.

While the TRIF Pilot is focused on large-scale transformative R&D investments, we recognise the importance of supporting a diverse range of projects. We aspire, in the long term, to potentially expand the programme to broaden the offer and accommodate smaller-scale investments in future phases of the scheme.
