Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA)

STFC’s Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) has been developed to provide flexible funding directly to the research organisation’s Knowledge Exchange (KE) / Technology Transfer (TT) Office (or equivalent) to support STFC-funded academics to take their ideas towards commercialisation, through activities not currently supported by an STFC funding programme.

Eligibility

Due to funding restrictions, IAA funding is only available to the top 30 institutions, determined by combined total STFC grant money being awarded over the past 5 financial years. Eligible institutions will be contacted directly and invited to apply.

For any queries over eligibility or for more details about the IAA, please contact the assistant programme manager Ed Mansfield
