Innovation Challenge Fund

The applications for Innovation Challenge Fund Round 2 are closed now.

Applications for funding by the Innovation Challenge Fund (“the Fund”) pass through a two-stage application process. The first stage involves the preparation and submission of a Concept Note.

Before completing the Concept Note, applicants must review the Terms Sheet for the Fund. The Terms Sheet sets out the key criteria against which grants are awarded.

Concept Notes are reviewed by the SNG team and relevant Public Sector Departments (Reform Working Groups) and only those Concept Notes that meet the objectives of the Fund, and where the lead applicant is eligible, is invited in to develop a full Application.

A successful Concept Note does not in any way imply that the subsequent Application will be funded.
