Wellcome Translation Fund

Runs Wellcome Translation Fund to support programme biomedical technology development proof-of-concept market-ready.

The Wellcome Translation Fund supported individuals and partnerships developing new biomedical technologies from proof-of-concept to commercial-market-ready. This programme is now closed. The last application deadline was 3 October 2016. No replacement programme with like-for-like scope exists; Wellcome's translational priorities have since been restructured across Discovery Awards, challenge calls, and Wellcome Leap.
